When I was a child, my dad told me "Dont put anything metallic into that electric socket!".
So I took a screwdriver and put it in. Luckily my dad is pretty cautious and the fuse tipped, had no light thats it. Hell, I could have died.
Did some other things, climbed at the side of a big bridge and flexed by only needing one hand to hold myself.
Did the messing with the power outlets as well. But instead of a screwdriver I experimented with paper clips and the christmas tree lights plug.
My grandmother had one of those old style fridges that was all steel in the basement that had something wrong with the wiring where if you didn't stand on a rug to when opening it you got zapped. I used to specifically not stand on the rug because I thought it felt funny, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with some of the small eccentricities I developed later in life...
