Cut thru what I thought was a water pipe (3/4" copper pipe) with a hack saw once. Was shocked to find 240v power cable thru the middle of it :/. Had a few zaps from spark plug wires etc but nothing too bad.

haha, ive got another electric fence story..

My story was coming home from a long late day at work, with a 3 hour drive ahead of me, got about 2 hours in and i needed a pee really bad, so i pulled the car over on the side of the road got out went behind the bushes so the highway traffic couldn't see me.. got my fella out thinking i could finally release the tension i've been holding back for the last hour, then *BANG*!! ... my nuts felt like they exploded ...

next time im gonna be checking for an electric fence first!!

When I was about 13 we went to a friends place who was renovating the bathroom.

I needed to drop bomb bad so I just rushed in, closed the door and dropped my daks.

Decided to flick the light on as it was pretty dark and it turned out it was just wires poping out the wall where the stiwtch was. Copped it via the index finger and it started the crap out of me. Literally.

No.Freakin.way.

People in Brisbnae will understand when i say. In the words of nova106.9's Marty Sheargold "THAT CAN'T HAPPEN!"

I have been lucky enough to never cop more than static shocks.

Dad had an old battery charger that didn't have a cover. Felt like touching the transformer boom electrocuted. Lucky didn't do any damage considering I have a heart condition.

This is going to sound awful, but I laughed pretty hard when I read that. No offense intended

Worst I've had is a shock from the mains via a dodgy home made extension cord (thanks dad...). Scared the **** out of me and hurt a fair bit, but I was fine in the end.
