Today, our electric horse fence broke. I turned it off so I could fix it. As I was grabbing the fence, my brother thought it would be hilarious to turn the fence back on. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was putting my horse away into her pasture, when I slipped in the mud. In a haisty attempt to support myself, I grabbed the electric fence in on hand, and my horse with the other. The shock from the fence traveled through me to her, sending her running and leaving me with 2 broken teeth. FML
Today, on site, my client was certain she had switched off her electric fence prior to me conducting an inspection of her boundary retaining wall. I overbalanced on my ladder and grabbed at the fence wires for support. The electricity was not switched off. FML
Today, I was leaning over a fence in a pasture to get a closer look at something. Nobody warned my nuts that it was an electric fence. FML
Today, while letting horses out to switch pasture, one ran at me, sending me through the electric fence and into a mud puddle. Wrapped in electric fence, I sat in that electric mud puddle, screaming every time it shocked me. Help arrived, once they'd had a good long laugh. FML
Today, I let my dogs out, and then realized they didn't have their electric fence collars on. I ran inside to get the collars, then dashed out to put them on my dogs. I ran through the electric fence. The collars were on. FML
Today, while I was putting up Christmas lights, my younger brother wouldn't stop pestering me. It seems he hadn't forgotten the time I gave myself an electric shock last year, and he wanted to see if I'd do it again. FML
Today, as I was pulling into my driveway, I hit my fence. The same fence that I had repaired last week because I had run into it. FML
Today, my dogs broke through our electric fence, one of whom managed to get his collar off. I picked it up and, without thinking, went across the fence line. I screamed like a chihuahua being run over by a bulldozer. FML
Today, my brother thought it would be hilarious to put his dog shock collar on me to wake me in lieu of my alarm. You know how those cartoon characters look when they're electrocuted? That's exactly how I woke up. FML
Today, I got the worst electric shock ever, touching a wire that was connected to the electric fence only by a plastic isolator, made specifically to NOT conduct electricity. I still don’t understand how it was possible. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hope you didn't burn off the skin from your hands. If you did, take advantage of not having finger- prints.

meh electric fences don't hurt all that much. the best prank by far tho is to tell a little kid to go take a piss on the fence.

For that last comment that wouldent work 1 horse electric fences arnt high enough voltage to travel that far and 2nd when men urinate it's not a main stream it breaks up as we pee the current would have to travel thru the air therefore still not enough voltage. Also what is the op 4 ? The fences dont hurt it's on avg 10-30 volt witch is nothing

47 - I take it you've never seen the email about the bloke who whizzed on an electric fence? No pun intended but the photos were quite literally shocking. Don't do it. Just don't.

The same thing happens when you hold two guitars by the necks, around the strings that are plugged in... Never hold a friends guitar without unplugging it -___-

Actually, for a horse fence, it's not as powerful to us as it is to them. I've once put my hand on an electric horse fence and had the other on the horse, by accident I promise, and made the horse jump from the current going through it, so it shouldn't have hurt OP that much.

A horse is a BIG animal, I'm fairly sure the electricity frying it's insides won't hurt it quite as much as it frying a human being.

I've been shocked a few times, the stronger fences feel like being punched in the chest. It's really not pleasant.

Depends on the strength of the fencer Horse fences and wiring are usually weaker than cattle fences. I've been zapped by horse fencer, which isn't bad, and a cattle fence, which actually left burns...

Should have followed proper lock out/tag out procedures. Somewhere an OSHA official is crying right now.
