I can't recall ever doing anything overly stupid with electricity, but
I've been witness to a few "interesting" happenings...a printer that
caught fire, the results of plugging a heavy old floor vacuum into a
lightweight extension cord and the sound of 20+ computers suddenly
going quiet because of a fuse box failure.

I now see why this thread is so long. :-D

As a kid, I took one of those 24-hour timers, plugged it in, and shorted
the output prongs together with a Philips screwdriver. Welded a bit of
copper to the screwdriver.

Much more recently, I was in a computer room, one of a pair with
redundant power, when the electrician managed to short out the
interchange between the two, killing power to both rooms.
