as for the people who have had shocks off 3phase, doubt you would have been across phases

I lent over the engine bay whilst it was running and my necklace touch the alternator.

That hurt like **** and i couldn't pull back cause it basically welded on.

Flipped a GPO on at work, Woke up 10 minutes later on the floor. Hurt like #### even the sparkies couldn't explain why i got zapped :hmmm:

Spark plugs a a shitload of times (bikes and cars)
Worst was when I was about 9-10, was playing at the baseball park with some friends, found one of the light poles had the metal cover ripped off it and since someone dared me and I didn't want to be a little bitch, I touched 2 of the bolts inside, stuffed me up.. Arm was shaking for about 5 minutes and couldn't control it and chest was hurting..

Probably should have went to the doctor after that but meh! im still alive lol

I stuck a fork in our toaster (I was like 5). Not very funny or impressive but I learned my lesson hahahaha

When I was around 8 years old. The siblings and I would take great joy in sticking our fingers into the (live) empty fridge lighting socket. I can still recall the sensation.

Thank God we are all still here.

been tickled a few times, thought it was 24volt but a sparky later confirmed it was 240 volts.

also got a decent zap on the hand from a arc welder. my bloody work mate thought it was hilarious and a class mate at tech got a 3phase shocker when he forgot to turn the experiment off before making a alteration, apparently he hit the ceiling in the class room

i was working on my ex wife washing machine when i reached down and got pinned by something " 240 volt shock"

luckily as i fell forward the wash cycle switch faced the wall pushing it off and it released me

i guess it wasn't my time to go
