I have few times, only small shock though. First I got shocked when disassembling a single use camera with flash, forgot to take away the battery, got sapped. Second time was from doing the same thing again, didn't learn the lesson. There are other times but I forgot, btw, electro stimulation therapy feels great.

No one who did could post, you should look up the meaning of the word.

You could also ask 'Could anyone who has commited suicide give me advice?'

Does electro stimulation involve sticking a rod into your penis It looks a bit scarey to try.

I got a nasty shock from an electric cooker cable once, they carry a lot of volts.

Nope, I sprained my wrist and the therapist put two patches on my arm and connected the patches to a machine. It send out thousands of tiny electric shock that relaxs your tendons and give you a nice tingling feeling. That might sound a bit wrong.

Yep. Twice.

First time was changing a lightbulb :| Forgot to turn off the light switch first. My thumb somehow slipped into the socket after taking out the original bulb. Ouch.

Second time was when my guitar amp stopped working. I had to open it up to check the fuse, and I accidentally touched the one of the valve sockets and got a pretty nasty shock. Ouch.

Yes. I tried to splice a telephone line with my teeth. Didn't know that they carried electricity. Shocked my tongue and that was weird.

I was changing one of the heating elements in an electric stove. I had turned off all the circuit breakers (except the one for the stove was apparently in a different apartment). My arm felt like it was vibrating for about 15 minutes. I've been told I was lucky I didn't get killed.

Lots and lots of times. I've been working around electricity since I was a teenager (30 years ago). I've been hit with everything from 24V control power (like your doorbell uses) all the way up to over 20,000 volt CRT supply voltages.

Its usually not the shock that hurts you, its what you jerk back in to that leaves a mark.

Yeah. I stuck a straightened out paper clip into a socket when I was like 6 because my brother dared me to. There's no real way to describe it except it's like getting hit by lightning.

Yeah, I was replacing the outlets in the apartment and I touched a wire. My arm spasmed throughout the entire day. Sucked, but I was okay. And then I've been tazed during training for both my department and when I was in the Air Force. Those sucked worse.

I got a pretty bad shock from exposed wiring on a water heater when I was little. Fell to the floor, as I recall.

I stuck a knife in a plug socket when I was about 4 or 5. I blame any form of stupidity on that.

We were flying down at Camp Pendleton doing externals and I inadvertently had my arm laying across the hook in the bird. When the guy on the ground slapped the hook on the pendant, the static electricity discharge through the hook, into my bicep and out my ring finger on my right hand where it was resting on the floor of the bird. My finger was paralyzed for about 5 minutes. The incident taught me a very valuable lessen about where to not place body parts while doing externals. Ouch!

Yes, on a hedge trimmer and by my computer. I also used to lick the terminals of those square 9 volt batteries because the feeling reminded me of the taste of vinegar. :)

I got electrocuted by a fluorescent light ballast about 10 years ago while i was swapping out some high flo overheads ( moisture fogger ) in a chicken house. Shock was so severe it split the skin open on the end of the finger where the current exited my body.

Had a friend die after getting shocked by the exact same thing while renovating an old government building like a year after that.

I was painting a hallway around an electrical outlet sans plate once, and as I fiddled with the outer box, my fingers slipped and touched the innards. Next thing I knew I was about six feet away sitting propped against the opposite wall. It was like my mind went blank and restarted, not to mention my body being knocked backwards.

One time I was trying to wire my internet so I unplugged the power cable from the box, and I didn't have anywhere to hold it so I put it between my lips. It shifted and touched a moist part of my lip. Will never do that again.

I tried to cut a 110v house wire that I thought was shut off. It was a good jolt and there was a hole burned right through the blades of my pliers.

Was walking into someone's backyard and mistakenly touched some wire that turned out to be his neighbor's electric fence.... Didn't even know they had those for people.

When I was middle school people used to always shock each other with those fake gum packs that give you a little jolt when you try to pull a peice out does that count?

We also got our chem teacher in high school with a fake pen that shocks you when you try to click it :twisted: he deserved it

I had a similar test when I had Bell's Palsy. The flight surgeons hadn't seen it before and were amazed at seeing it. They sent me up to the local naval hospital where I had tests done on the nerves where they shocked them to make sure they were working properly. It felt weird having my face twitch without doing anything myself.

Yep - One time, my father in law and I was working on the electric outlet. I was on one side of the wall and he was on the other. He had me hold onto one of the electric things inside the wall (stupid me - I know). I held it and he turned it on, the bugger. I got zapped and felt my hand go numb. Got to love him! I could hear him chuckling on the other side of the wall.

Many times. The worst shock received was from a fluorescent lamp 3 or 4 feet long that I had grabbed on both ends when installing. The electric current went through my arms and I felt like someone hit me in the back with a baseball bat. At the moment I had not realized what had happened and yelled at one of my friends who I thought had hit me. He simply looked at me in confusion. The friend I speak of is an active member of these forums.
