This is a debate, not an argument, let’s be adults about this. [Insert political joke]

    You haven’t? I guess most people I know were dumber as kids that you were.

      Are you saying they shocked themselves plugging something in? Or putting something else into the outlet.

      The plug itself is not really easy to shock yourself on, you’d have to intentionally try to do it by putting something behind it to bridge the pins, or have a broken plug or something, so that’s why I am saying this seems incorrect.

      I definitely knew some dumbasses that would attempt to creat a power arc, but they were certainly not the majority.

        It’s possible to touch the pins with your finger when the plug is partially inserted into the socket. It’s especially possible with child-size fingers.

        Many of the other plug designs, like Europlug have half-insulated pins to prevent this.
