Id put a fork in a toaster while it was on when I was around 12.

Took out a hot water cylinder a few years ago(unlagged and all exposed copper), took a hold of the pipework coming off the top of it to heave it out as it still had a fair weight to it, and the immersion cable had only been switched off, and as the cylinder pushed past it turned on, the cable ends happened to be touch the cylinder and for a few seconds (which felt like a lot longer) I was been belted. I was fine from it luckily, and lesson defo learnt.

Had a belt off a family members washing machine that i agreed to swap out and got a belt, only to hear from them watching me saying, "oh yeah, by the way theres no earth to that old one" :banghead:

Got a belt off an emergency lighting circuit in a shopping centre! Was screwing the switch plate back and went to push the cable out of the way of the pin ..... Must of been a split in the insulation , am really cautious of this in switches now, after the shock I had to sit down and apparently wen white! Did feel pretty pants too!!
