I was fixing a tumble dryer and i forgot to attach the earth strap onto the rear and swithched it on and my whole body felt like it had pins n needles and i could feel all the little hairs standing on end.

then i tripped the electrics in the customers house - lucky they had circuit breakers.

When my bro was a nipper he was in the hair dressers with my mother. He stuck a hair pin into the plug socket and almost blew his fingernails off

Would it've mattered if it was on or off? Surely he should've switched it off at the mains :boggle;;

Used to stick my finger in the hobs on the gas cooker years ago and press the spark.. was good fun!

then my mates started taking cookers apart and bringing the spark thingy into school and shocking everyone then we started taking them out of lighters.

Was realy funny doing it on some randoms neck
