i'm stupid. really stupid. but i just have to tell ya about it
yesterday I filled a 10 gallon tub with water and salt. Somehow when i picked something up it pulled up the extention cord and the outlet end of the cord with the heater and pump fell into the water.
my first reaction was, shit, that should not be in there! So I reached in and grabbed it. so stupid. Got jolted as i pulled it out... then once it was out of the water I felt i needed to unplug the heater and pump so i did that while getting jolted again. stupid.
common sense would have led me to leap to the power strip and unplug the extention cord but this was just my reflex reaction.
this was my first time getting a good jolt. dammit, i almost got a darwin award...
