Default Electrocution

Yes, gently pushing an edge connector on a pcb that was intermittence. The
edge connector was single sided as was the pcb, but some dick head had
replaced the standard edge connector with one with bare contacts all the
way around. The ht welded my hand to it until I used the other to pull it
off, my fingers were quite for for a day or so. I'm not used to becoming a
resistor in a DC circuit.
The moral of course is, never assume always check what you think is the
case actually is.

I've had many shocks, it usually doesn't much bother me, except for once
when I genuiningly was thrown across a room, a flooded banking hall.

I've had more than I care to admit. I'm more careful generally as I age so
incidents are tailing off.

The worse was when I had something in my hand (a water solenoid), some
dickhead (most likely me) had connected live to earth so I powered it to
test it was working and couldn't let go. Very unpleasant that one.
