[QUOTE="Okieprepper, post: 3689663, member: 11631"] Took a few bites, but yep, I learned the hard way too by putting a door key in a receptacle when I was about three. Got bit again as a teen trying to dig burnt bread out of a toaster. Been bit several times in my lifetime screwing around with hot switches and other electrical mishaps. I have broke more than a few plug prongs on those damn tamper proof receptacles. Ironically, years later now I have a degree in electrical automation and teach people about electrical safety, measurement taking and arc flash. Now, that I know the animal so much better I handle him like a cobra snake charmer by always finding his breaker before kissing the top of his head. Still a learner though. :) 🔌⚡:w000t: [/QUOTE]
