Maybe your wall plug is not respecting the norm.

So, what you call neutral should be the phase line.

Seen from you, the phase should be on the right, neutral on the left
(plug in the wall).

It's easy to check, take a voltmeter (scale 500V AC), take one end
(barefoot), and put the other one in the plug (each holes, one by one).
You have no risk ; if it is the phase line , the meter should move a little.
Don't forget that if you put the meter in Amperes, you will reach the
cieling.

To comply to safety rules, manufacturers must protect the phase line,
not the neutral (VDE, UL, IEC, ANSI, ISO...). So your wall plug
connexions might be inverted.
