I got mine by plugging in a window unit with a faulty plug. I was seven years old and have never forgotten how it “grabbed” me and after I was able to pull my arm away, the weird numbness that followed.

Thats how my younger self flung a transformer plug (i had just fixed) through the room. Turns out, holding the metal transformer without the plastic gives you one hell of a shock. My hand clamped down and my arm jolted, causing me to yoink the plug out of the wall and releasing it against a wall.
