Plugged something in in electrical class and it was missing insulation. I was stuck and it hurt. Classmate pushed me off it.

I touched a metal light pole when I was 5 and it had a loose connection inside. I was stuck frozen to it for almost a minute before my dad realized what was going on.

He tackled the pole and I just walked to the house, ate a snack, and took a nap for 22 hours. This is also my earliest memory

There was this factory I worked at for one day which had these electric fence boards that they were testing. The problem is they would almost always catch your hand and shock the fuck out of you. The guy in the position training me was just like oh yeah that happens. I got the fuck out of there lmao, don't miss working temp agencies.

I've been briefly hit with 120VAC a couple of times. I've also been hit by one of those shock pens as a prank.

I was changing a light bulb in a hanging lamp in one of our hotel rooms. I made the mistake of trusting the guest when they said the switch was off plus our wiring is nearly 40 years old so when I grabbed the metal part to put the bulb in I shocked the hell out of myself.

Yeah by an electric fence.

I was wearing shoes with rubber soles so figured the electricity wouldn't go through that. It did. I was like god damn I hope these ponies never touch this shit

No I was able to let go quickly, it was a strong, 3 second jolt.

I have a vague memory of getting shocked by fucking with an electrical outlet when I was really, really young. I have a very healthy respect/fear of electricity due to it.

Feeling too alive for that.

..but as for being zapped? Just static

EDIT: Mighta been shocked by a damaged USB CHarger, but that wasnt as bad as a static shock, so hard to say for sure.

When I was doing remote desktop support for Geek Squad, I was sitting at my desk one day... I was super sleepy and trying to reach under my desk to plug a charger for my phone into a power strip without looking.

I was struggling to find the socket on the power strip... When I did get it, I had fingers touching the metal prongs that were going into the outlet... Wasn't electrocuted, obviously, but... it delivered quite the shock, lol. My arm was slightly twitching for a few hours after that.

Only minor shock. One time I had static energy built up and when I touched a light switch, I actually saw a bolt shoot into my finger

I dont know if that counts as proper electrocution though

It doesnt just mean death. I fell like this is one of those things that popped up on the internet in recent years as an "ACKSHULLY!!!" moment.

never severely, but long enough to feel it travel through my arm into the rest of my body. it hurt at the point of contact (my finger) but it just felt tingly everywhere else. move over ASMR

a few times. the one I really remember is an arcade machine electrocuting me for a couple of seconds. felt really weird. IDR if my cousin pushed me off of it or if I was able to free my hands from it tbh. this happened when I was probably around 6-7 years old. it was right after a big storm too so maybe that had something to do with it. this wasn't at an actual arcade but at some dude's house (who might've been related to me idr too well now).
