Well a long time ago I was helping my parent's refurbish a house they had just bought. I was screwing back on the face plate for the powerpoint, all the wires were exposed and everything (the electricity was on too). For some strange reason I had the urge to connect the ground point with one of the other points with the screw I was holding with the pliers, now I know this was a bad idea and I knew at the time what would happen but I just couldn't help it. So a touched the two points with the screw, I was pushed back and it made a huge noise, luckly the pliers I was holding had rubber grips on the handle or else I may not be here writing this. The screw was fused with the pliers and my parent's came running in asking what happened. I told them it was an accident but I knew it wasn't, I dunno why I did it as they say curiosity killed the cat, this time i was lucky.
