Ok, this is way weird. I just was going to replace a toilet flapper. I
went to turn the shut off valve, and got zapped, big time!

Time to call the pros. What else were you touching when you touched the
shut-off valve? To feel a shock, the current has to be flowing from the
valve, through your body to somewhere else to complete the circuit.
