Getting shocked by electricity?

Kennedy
I used to mess around with electricity and wires with live current years ago when I was still a teenager. I was having the mindset that I was going to become an electrical engineer when I become an adult.

There was one unfortunate day for me when I was trying to fix minor blown fuse and I was shocked. It was a weird feeling I couldn't understand. It was the last day I ever touched anything wire or have any thoughts of becoming an electrical engineer.

Have you been shocked by electricity?
 
I used to know a girl who always wore clothes that shocked you

She lived next door, and when she came out to hug me or what ever, I'd always get shocked by her clothing

I eventually would be scared of her coming near me. It didn't really hurt, it was just unpleasant
 
I remember using my phone charger and the wires were showing slightly as I needed a new one.
I was lying in bed and my wire shocked me. It wasn't bad, it was just a sting but I got a charger as soon as I could the next day.

I've been zapped by my smartphone charge once. I cannot explain how it felt but it wasn't anything serious for me to worry about.

Mobile phone chargers cannot zap you in any way it's going to be harmful. I have seen tech people who uses their tongue to touch the mouth of the charger USB in order to know if it's working. If it's harmful, they will not be doing that with their tongue.
 
I had such a case once in childhood, but it was not very serious. I tried to always be careful, but one day when I was alone at home, I decided to check if in fact if you stick a plug into the socket it can cause a shock and I tried and I was shocked by electricity, but for some reason it was not very strong and in 5 minutes I came to my senses
 
Thankfully, I have never experienced a serious electrical shock. The closest I've come was getting a mild static electricity zap from touching a metal surface on a dry day. While unpleasant, it was not at all dangerous. I'm very cautious when it comes to electricity and always make sure to follow proper safety protocols.
