If you had been electrocuted you'd be dead.

Was with a local electrical contractors... screwing up wall sockets to the walls after the tiling/plastering had been done.. grabbed the socket to put the screw in and touched the metal on the back

But the worst one was on an plane, got a shock off the reading lamp (feck knows how!) but man that hurt. Expect it was low voltage high current.

My dad walked up to an electric cow/sheep fence and cupped his hands round it and said "look its switched off" being 7 i walked up to it and grabbed hold of it..... lets just say say ive never trusted him again. But does make us all giggle from time to time.

Worst one i had was when i was plaster boarding a wall. Asked the spark if it was turned off, he said it was. Began to cut out around the socket touched one of the wires and remember jumping up after the shock.

I've done it about 3 or 4 times now, I always forget to turn the electric off.
Last one was trying to pull a circuit board away from a clip, put my hand round the back of the circuit board and I actually yelped that time
