Round my old mans house, go to turn on the newly wired light and it lit up like a christmas tree!!
If it wasn't for the socket blowing I'm sure it wouldn't have just been the end of my finger that was left black and charred!
Nice wiring old bean!!
Is it just my folks that try to injure me or has this happened to anyone else?

Not recently but as a child my brother tried to electicute me by "letting" me use my mom's vacuum cleaner on a water soaked wooden platform in the basement. I was playing house after a big rainstorm and my brother had just been learning about electricity. He plugged the vacuum in, I turned it on. It held me captive for awhile then threw me across the room.
I couldn't use my arm for a week and my brother couldn't sit down for two weeks. I still have a healthy respect for electricity.

Ya all the time. My 9th birthday I got chased around the house with a butcher knife by my mother. It's ok though stuff like this just brings the family closer!

My dad got me to paint the barge boards on our house by lying on the roof and leaning over. If I'd have slipped I'd have fallen 2 storeys. I was only about 14 at the time. Were they trying to kill me - I don't know but it was certainly dangerous.

A couple of years ago my partner & I were putting up new light fittings. He thought he had turned off the mains & told me to hold the metal light fitting while he connected it. I asked "are you sure it's safe" to which he replied "trust me I know what I'm doing!" 5 seconds later I was electrocuted!

Look around if they attempt this on others, if yes, then they are the problem.
But if everyone is doing these sort of things to you, then you are the problem, so change for the better before anyone try to knock you off.

A family member usually tries to kill me 2 - 3 times per week.

My dog always seems to flop across the top stair just as I'm coming down with armloads of laundry. I'm sure she does it deliberately!

I have been shocked by faulty wiring, hit by a car in the driveway, and mistakenly shot at in the woods. I think its a conspiracy.

no i can quite happily say that the only times my life has been endangered is because of my own sheer stupidity.
