Today, while I was fitting a new fuse box, a giant spider tried to eat my fingers. As I pulled away, I touched the exposed wires. I woke up flat on my back to the customer slapping my face, burnt fingers, and bruises everywhere. I had also peed and shit myself. FML

First rule of working with electricity: TURN IT OFF! Congratulations on being the textbook case of why this is the first rule.

Still alive though, so I'm calling that a win.

So, did your customer sympathize with you, or are you a "pussy" who won't be hired by that specific customer again?

A red seal electrician is permitted to work on live wires. So no, not a rule.

Doesn’t make it wise.

They were replacing the box itself. How would they turn the power off? Shut off the whole city?

But is the spider OK?
Seriously though, that is why you don't ever operate on live wires, unless you have the skills and equipment to do so, which you obviously don't.

TBH you should not have been working on live wires. I know electricians do it all the time but you just proved why it's unsafe.

That is just incredibly shocking. I'm glad you woke up though.

Ohm, my god! Watt a revolting turn of current events. Why were you so amped up to resist hiring a qualified electrician?

While I'm loving these puns, I'm pretty sure OP was the qualified electrician :P

Perhaps, but I'm guessing he's a guy who has been to a Lowe's and watched a few YouTube DIY videos.

Electrician maybe, qualified obviously not.

Why the hell was the electricity still on if you were hooking up wires?

They weren’t. OP was replacing the box, hence “fitting the box”, not working with wires, let alone live ones.

On the bright side, at least you didn't die at the scene.

That’s actually terrifying. Glad you’re okay!
