Got a nasty shock for a power point. I was over in the Phillapines at the time, and there was this fan running flat out in my room, i could not get to sleep. The power point wires were exposed, so i was trying to be extra careful while i was switching it off, but soon as I went to flick it off some how the electricity went from the wiring to my hand without me even touching the wiring. Anyway that really hurt, got a nice burn on my hand, and scared the hell outta everyone from screaming lol. Not sure on the voltage of the power points over there, but yeah that was enough.
