For me, back in the 80s, flat mate was a tube driver, we get back to our home station, Borough, he says 'When there's no train in the station, the power rails are dead, I've already done it elsewhere, go and and sit on the middle rail and touch the outer 4th rail'

Me being an idiot does this and gets an interesting zap...
 
Pulling in over 250 cat5e cables on a 90m pig of a run to a room marked on the drawing as comms room. Unfortunately I did not notice the other room marked "Main comms room" on the other side of the floor. By the time we had pulled it all back it was fooked with snags and cankers. Customer walks in and looks at the pile of cable as if it was a dead dolphin and said "I think you need some more cable" Not a good day.

Also did some work for the RNLI training center in Poole. Walking across some grass to my van and ended up busting my ankle on a grown over hole. That was it i got the full Monty, stretcher, inflatable splint and the full casualty exercise. A toot of Entonox and I was happy as Larry for a bit. The recovery was a 4 weeks for boredom hell. Not a day I want to live again thanks.
