Today, I was at a science and technology camp. We were soldering, and I burnt my little finger with the soldering iron. Molten solder got on it. Ouch!
But to make it worse, later, the circuit board I made was attached to a pencil (The point is if you attach it to a pencil in a certain way, when you draw with it will play music). I tried drawing, and... ZAP! The little finger where my burn was got electrocuted.
It was only a small shock from a fried circuit. But it hurt.
Have you guys ever gotten electrocuted?

Yes. In a dream. Other than that, no.

Yes. I leaned on an electric fence and almost got knocked out.

Nope. When building circuits/anything electrical, I always have someone (Usually one of my sisters) test it before I do.
I have been burnt before, though. But definitely not with a soldering iron O_O

I think I have gotten electrocuted before. Or not. I don't remember any but maybe I just forgot it.

Too many times to count
Once I was sitting in a place which had seats which periodically electrocuted you. (the reason I can only guess at). Pretty painful after 3 hours.

I've gotten electrocuted, but it didn't hurt really bad.
I have been burnt many times while cooking scrambled eggs! All the time!

Nice xD How did taht happen?
I've never been electrocuted, except for the time that someone put heavy weights in my slippers, so I had top drag them around to the my room. I got zapped after I touched the doorknob.

I touched an electric fence trying to take a good picture of a horse, and I grabbed one. It didn't do anything. 'I told you- GAH!" They turned it on when i was grabbing it. DX

Yes two weeks ago
I plugged out some transformer that had been plugged in unused for ages before we left to the states for the Scratch conference. But I touched the pins when it was out and it hurt. a lot. For some reason the transformer kept a 230V (european net voltage) static charge on it --'
Oh and I touched those electric fences quite a lot already (boyscouts xD)
And I burnt myself with a soldering iron a lot. Those things tend to be quite hot.
BTW Someone in my street actually put a 'high voltage' sign on his mailbox to make the advertising guys avoid it

I spilled acid on myself. Never burned though. Unless you count with a grill.

you made a draudio?

I've jammed a small bit of my finger in a wall socket plugging stuff in once or twice when I was little. I don't remember how much it hurt, but it must not have been that bad cuz i never notfied my parents

I guess. I think it was called a Drawdio.
LOL, this incedent inspired me for a new fakemon. It is called Molt, it is Fire Steel. It eats iron, burns it in its body, and spews it out at foes. It evolves into Welsold.

When I was in preschool, I burned my arm on a cake pan (And the cake pan just came out of the oven). Lost a couple layers of skin (They came back in the healing process), and it HURT.
Baa.Offline

Once. The old bathroom light had some exposed wire in it and as I was trying to turn it off (with wet hands), I got shocked. Not fun.

I never got shocked, but once I DID touch a light bulb and got burned D:
