I just electrocuted myself. Man I hate that feeling.

I was using a wet vac to suck up some water and suddenly it wouldnt work.. So I go to pull out the plug and I noticed that one of the prongs had broken off and was still in the wall. So not thinking, I go to touch it and I got shocked! I jumped about 2 feet in the air and let out a big yell. I hate getting shocked. Wouldnt be the 1st time. I shocked myself a couple months ago when I was changing out a light. I put a new bulb in and it still wouldnt come on. So I stuck my finger in there for some odd reason and I got shocked really bad as well.



Have you ever electrocuted yourself?
 
When I was small I put a key in an electrical outlet pretending it was a door to a house I was opening. I can still remember to this day that horrible electric shock feeling.

When I was in high school I stuck a paper clip in an outlet in science class. The outlets are on the tables right in front of you so they are basically asking to get something stuck in them.

Needless to say I shocked myself really bad and I shorted out the entire building in the process.

I got suspended for 3 days and moved to a different science class because the teacher didnt want me in his class anymore.

Were you conducting your own science experiment?

I shocked myself once... tried to connect 2 sockets (that worked, I just got shocked when I tried to dismantle it all again).

Reminds me of something a little... well... smarter I heard.

Someone had taken the head of a plug and connected the wires, when it was put in a socket they DIDN'T get shocked but caused everything to short-circuit, black out!
