This is wierd...

I know no one likes electrical questions. But I have to ask this.
We stopped up the house tonight. And since we have been working there, but not living there yet, I have kept the hot water tank turned off. I did turn it on for one day, t make sure it worked. And then turned the breaker off to it, "double 30 pull", since it would be a waste to run it for now.
Well tonight, my wife turned on the dishwasher, to wash some glass shades from the light fixtures. I told her there would be no hot water, but go ahead. She opened it up a few minutes later, and told me the water was hot....
I went back, and could hear the hot water tank running. I looked into the breaker panel, and the breaker was still off. I turned the breaker to the dishwasher off, and the hot water tank shut off. I turned the breaker on for the tank, and it turned on. I am confused.
I then turned the hot water tank breaker off, and turned the dishwasher breaker back on, and the tank started up again. I am completely lost.
I opened the panel up. And the dishwasher is on its own breaker. And the hot water tank is on its own breaker. I can tell they added the dishwasher recently, due to the 12-2 line running underneath the belly from front to back. Any ideas? It is odd.
