Moved into new house in Holland, trying to find out which fuse
controlled a particular lighting point (no fittings supplied), so put
neon screwdriver on bare wire. Only discovered when I managed to get the
feeling back in my arm that I'd used the 24V car tester instead of the
mains type.

A Belgian colleague put his multimeter across 2 phases of the computer
room supply to measure the voltage, but left it on the mA setting. It
took him a couple of hours to stop shaking. I don't think the meter was
much use afterwards!
