I once stuck a screwdriver into an electric fence power unit because the fence had become loose..
Gave it a good poke and nothing happened. Gave it another poke and it blew my socks off.
What do I know about electrics and shit

I used to work in the lighting industry, testing new lights on their efficiency and light output. It was my job to test the light fittings as they came into the lab to see if they work. I remember one I was testing and I think I wired it up wrong as it didnt work. Numpty here forgot that it was still live and managed to shock myself. Buggar me was it uncomfortable. |

I did my electrical apprenticeship and used to touch the nail of one finger again things and then the lecky would cause my finger to contract and pull away. That was all well and good till I got a roasting one day lol I've tried tazing myself before too, I'm a fucking simpleton some times  |

No but I did set my toaster on fire once.
I got a shock from a camera (it had been dropped and broken) that hurt and it was just battery powered, I don't think I'd cope with more! |

Once held onto an electric fence (might of done that a few times in my life to be honest).
Have plugged in a Hoover, bang, stood up, sat down, had a think about things.
Don't remember it hurting, but do remember suddenly being in a different part of the room.

At 14 I reconnected an electric fence guarding a grouse farm in Devon, forgetting to take my hand off the wires, I heard the hum of electricity sweep around the circuit and was promptly thrown back six or seven feet much to the laughter of my brother.
That was also the day the voices stopped... |

Had a similar thing at my idiot stepson's flat when he moved in. Previous owners had taken the light fittings and I was charged with replacing them. Went to do the bedroom fitting, checked the switch was off, grasped the live wire and fell to the floor in record time. Hadn't realised that there were two light switches in the room. I learned that day to always use my current checker before starting anything remotely risky.... |

"I know someone who got a shock because she used her tongue to turn the lightswitch on... her defence was she had two armloads of washing
This one made me laugh...the perils of multitasking "
I didn't question it at first.... but you got to figure... how wet was her tongue?  |
