@_ck_: New Orleans, United States. I got sick of being in the dark followin Katrina. The grid was on, but the electric company wasn’t turning on houses without inspections. I popped open the meter box and hammered conductive plate metal into place on both sides, and voila, instant free electricity.

Then came a stormy day weeks after that. The power went out. I went to check the plate metal hack. One of them had, indeed, slipped out of place somehow. I attempted to put it back into place with a pair of pliers wrapped in electrical tape, while I was standing in a puddle of rain water.

I woke up a few minutes later. Witnesses said the arc was so bright they thought sure I was dead. And that’s th story of how I learned never to play with electricity again.
