Fuck that was a weird feeling. I was unplugging my bros amp and I was being a lazy fuck so i didnt wanna bend down all the way to unplug it cause I woulda had to have put the gutair down so I just tried to unplug it with one hand. As I was pullin the plug my finger slipped touched the plug and zapped me causing me to twitch backwards and slam my shoulder into the desk. PWND

I opened a disposable camera when i was little for no apparent reason. The capacitor for the flash shocked the hell out of me.

just to be an ass, the strict definition of "electrocute" states that a true "electrocution" ends with someone dying. it comes from an amalgamation of the phrase "electrical execution" from back when most states used to use the electric chair to kill criminals...you just got shocked, amigo

Thank you. I can't believe that the general population of NS is that stupid.

That's like saying you drowned yesterday.

i went to school to be an electrician and when we couldnt find a breaker we'd just take a screw driver and short it out. never got shocked doing that but, i have a tiny burn scar from a 480v starter i tapped with the back of my hand trying to move it.

i remember back in the day before digital cameras were affordable for the masses and everyone used disposables...we would always take them apart charge up the capacitor for the flash and shock the crap out of people...good times

I've been electrocuted several times.

1. Taking apart a throwaway camera, the capacitor for the flash was charged and i touched it or something. I threw the camera across my room. I think I got shocked a second time on try #2.

2. Plugging a heavy duty halogen lamp in, as soon as the metal went in the socket I got shocked and like stuck to it. That was from the wall, it feels like you're vibrating a lot and my heart was beating really, really fast afterwards.

3. Plugging something else in recently, I think a TV.

It's such a weird feeling.

i always thought electrocution was death, and that if you dont die it just a shock... maybe im wrong.
