Done the same thing when i was a kid, decided to have a yawn right under it. Shorted the power for the whole close. As you can see though, i turned out fine.

Following on to Al poking around inside generators, I managed to accidentally bridge two battery terminals on a car with a spanner once. That was pretty scary I can tell you. | |

the time i stuck a screwdriver in the back of an extension cable that was still plugged in hurt a fair bit. the time i zapped myself while i was up a ladder, and hence fell off, really hurt.
see how they add a smell to domestic gas so you know it's there? they should add a cool purple sparkly thing to electricity so you can see it.
like those things in labs in horror movies (what the hell are they?), or the plasma balls you used to see in the Inovations catalogue.

There are no carpets | If there are no carpets then its most likely your clothes that are providing the charge which is why its following you about work. The chances are your earthing yourself everywhere else when your not there so not noticing it.
Used to work in Safeway and the trolleys we used for carrying the toilet paper to the shelfs had a handle that was the perfect height for zapping my bollocks every time I picked up a case to open. | |

i get shocks all the time off the electric fencing. You think the shock from the light bulb was sore, go touch an electric fence, voltage well higher. Sorest part is then the volt stops at your elbow. Agony for ages after it. i get one nearly every day. I surprised i not got a perm yet!
