BuzzKilljoy 04/30/24 10:03:49 PM #33:	I changed out the element on an oven without realizing the breaker was still on and the oven was plugged in. It was a rental apartment and the oven wouldn't slide away from the wall because of how the counters were built. So I turned off the main at the breaker panel but the oven was on a 220 circuit that was like in the crawlspace of the building and not my panel and I had no idea. I managed to disconnect the old element and connect the new one without dying somehow, but it shorted as I was sliding the element prongs into place in the back of the oven. Dumb story but probably the closest I've ever come to dying in an accident. --- *Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?* <cite>BuzzKilljoy posted [p:980179442] in What's the...
