It depends. . .If it hits you really hard in the head. . .maybe. . .
If it is plugged in to an electrical outlet not protected by GFI, then it just may ruin your life if you are in the tub and the tub has water in it.. Homes older than 25 years old have bathroom outlets that are unprotected. GFI was/is a great protection and a great idea. It senses the electricity that may escape through the "Ground" (the water in the tub for example) and interrupts the flow of electricity almost instantly.

It depends. On older homes all the plumbing was steel, copper, or lead. And the outlets in the bathroom were unprotected even some were ungrounded. In this senerio yes you would be electrocuted. In newer homes the drains are PVC so non conductive so you would not be grounded through the drain. And now a GFI or ground fault interupter is code for bathroom plugs. So now you are not grounded and at the same time the outlet will sense a flow of fault current in the water and quickly shut off the electricity to that plug so you will not be electrocuted. Don't try anything or you will do 25 to life.

Only if the toaster or hair dryer are plugged in and the tub is full of water. Electricity and water don't mix.

Which would you prefer the toaster or my hair dryer??? Seeings how most of the time the toaster is left of the counter.. crumbs and all let's go with that.

particular, considering the fact that water is a conductor in case you threw a toaster that replaced into pkugged in, the water might develop into electrified by capacity of the circulate of electrons. something interior that water could be electrocuted.

Yep. If you're in that tub. If you're wet, you're fried, electrocuted like the electric chair

If it was plugged in it would. They did a test on Myth Busters and it is a fact. You will die a gruesome death.

Why do you want to know?? It's disturbing to me that you're asking this question. Am I the only one who is concerned here??
Please don't do anything dumb, seriously.

It would electrocute you well- those really pull the electricity when they are on= d
