rewired a plugso of course I wanted to test I'd done it properly, but to save time I didn't bother screwing the back cover back onto the plug. Using the palm of my hand to give it a good solid push into the socket, I came to on the kitchen floor with an incredibly sore hand and arm. No burns though!

I did thatwhen replacing a PC's power unit fan, I thought I'll test it before i put it back together.
2 hours later I come to against my wardrobe, 6 foot away from the PSU on the floor.
Found that as I put the power cable in, I held the nice big capacitor on the other side, making me the easiest route for the mains to pass.
Hasn't affected me *twitch*

At first, I read that as 'I came on the kitchen floor'Which rather changes the story somewhat...

I did that tooWhen I was replacing a fuse. Now the nice plug making people make it so you can't take the plug apart and to replace the fuse you just flick out the plastic clip holding it.
