Electricity and I have been well acquainted for years now. We meet every so often at odd times. I usually try to avoid him, but he can be rather persistence in meeting.
When I was fairly young, I touched an electric fence that was supposed to be off. It blocked the path on Grandma's hillside to keep deer out of her garden. I suspect that my little brother may have turned it back on to see what would happen. He found it hilarious when I got shocked.
As a young teen, my brother and I was trying to get a small dirtbike started. I was holding the spark plug which was removed from the engine, but still connected to the spark plug wire. While I was inspecting the plug and wire, my brother decided to try to kick start the motor. He knew instantly that it was not a good idea and started running while I was still a bit dazed from the shock. After a few minutes to calm down, we continued to work on it without any luck that day.
During an experiment with an wall adapter cord, my brother and I both tested the output with our finger. The input was supposed to be 120 VAC with an output of 9 VAC. I had cut the output plug off and stripped the insulation off both wires a short distance. We used a AA battery to connect to the output (low side) of the transformer with the input prongs facing up on the floor (not plugged in). If the battery was briefly connected to the transformer, a single jolt could be felt at the input prongs. We took turns holding the battery and bare wires while the other one felt the voltage output. We were able to determine that the shorter pulse of DC through a transformer resulted in a better jolt. Straight DC through a transformer does nothing.
Several times, I have found bad power cords when my hand tingled badly. Other times, I have discovered a bad chassis ground after touching the metal case of something. The most recent experience with such was my home's water heater. The entire home's ground wire was not properly connected. When I removed the water heater drain plug to remove the built up sedament, I did not feel any electricity. After draining the waterheater, the ground under it where I was standing was wet. Re-installing the drain plug was bad. The power to the waterheater was off, but something else was putting voltage potential onto the waterheater chassis. I could only hold the wrench to the drain plug for a few seconds at a time and took several minutes to tighten it fully because of the strong tingling sensation going through my hand. It felt like a 9 volt battery on the tongue, only the sensation went through my hand, arm, and legs with greater power. Later, I found the bad ground wire and corrected it.
No electrocution here, just a long list of shocks, jolts, and strange tinglings from electricity.
