I've never understood how this could be possible, but I had a boyfriend who would get shocks from outlets and such that were turned off. The most extreme example was once when we were at a friend's house that was being remodled. My boyfriend touched an electrical box and got a shock that threw him back about 10 feet. The guy who owned the house walked over to the circuit breaker saying, "This should have been turned off" but then found that it was turned off. Very strange - I never figured that one out. Maybe I just need to know more about how electricity works.
