I was electrocuted today.

[Quindiana Jones]

By my kettle. It sent a weird and oddly strong vibration right up my arm to my shoulder before I pulled away. I really should have known. My kettle leaked and the tray it's on left it submerged in about a centimetre of water. I heard a strange buzzing, figured "that's probably the electricity", and decided to test this by touching the spoon that was also submerged in the same water. Then I was electrocuted. I laughed.

Anyone here ever been electrocuted? By what? How bad?

Lots of love,

I got electrocuted when I was plugging something in a year or so ago. I had to stretch behind my TV to plug something in, and I was mindlessly holding the plug by the prongs, searching for the outlet. I finally found it, and then I felt this weird sensation shoot up my arm. I got knocked back and was stunned for a moment, and then it started to hurt. It was not very much fun and I do not wish to try it again.

I had my hand on an electric fence once, and I didn't realise until I touched a shetland pony, who freaked out and bolted to the other end of the field xD I don't think it was very strong.

[Quindiana Jones]

Hey, at least we know the electric fence is doing its job.

I've received multiple shocks working on electrical circuits.

Not very strong ones though. Although I worked with a couple of 100V, 20A sources once, so it could've been had I not been careful to cop it off at 200 mA. xD

I've been shocked a couple times. The worst one left my arm numb for about a minute.

Feels good man

The worst shock I had was when I climbed under an electric fence and it touched my back. It hit right at the spine too, which apparently is a very sensitive area for that kind of stuff. It felt like .

I also "knew" a guy who decided that taking a piss on an electric fence could very well be the best idea he'd had that evening. It was not.

A guy from my old school thought sticking a LED into a wall outlet could be just as good an idea. It took out the electricity in the whole school. I'm not sure if he got a shock from that, but last I heard about him he was an electrician.

electric fences suck!

One time I was cleaning a wall in a laundry room and I guess part of me caught an outlet that I didn’t know was there. It was a real smurfer. I don’t know if it helps that I had bare feet that were covered in water but... yikes. It pretty much felt like someone had come behind me and smashed really hard and really fast with a baseball bat or few. I got knocked right off my feet and sat on my back not really knowing what was going on!
I guess I’m kind of lucky, because I caused the power to go out. I was told later that if that hadn’t happened, I’d be dead right now!

I thought I got shocked by my computer one time, but I think I had just stuck the plug in the fan.

[crono_logical]

Worst shock I had was when I decided to dismantle a power strip without unplugging it from the wall first

[Yar]

When I was like four I touched the prongs of a plug that wasn't fully plugged in.

I ALMOST DIED I SWEAR

[Dignified Pauper]

I've been shocked plenty of times. Touching door knobs. Metal things.. Oh... we're not talking about static shocks?

I've actually been shocked by an electric fence and my computer. I don't mind volts... Amps are what kill ya.

[Blue Harvest]

I have a habit of unintentionally touching the prongs whilst plugging things in/unplugging them so i get shocked quite often. I barely even feel it now.
