One of the worst shocks I've received in my life was not accidentally touching one of the prongs of a half-inserted 120v mains plug, but pulling one of my fleece blankets off of the other on my bed, and then getting my shoed foot within 6 inches of my metal bed frame. I almost fell over, grabbed the upper part of the frame with my hand, and received yet another painful shock.
I’ve had more than my fair share of 120v shocks, but the worst shock(s), by far, happened when blowing cellulose insulation into my attic. The 75’ (100’?) hose was a little unwieldy and I wanted more control in filling areas near eaves (small attic, lots of crawling), so I taped a 3’ section of 2” pvc pipe to the end of the hose. Holy hell… continuously, the static would build for a few minutes until it’d discharge through my gloves. First time it happened I pulled my glove off thinking it left a burn. There wasn’t really much I could do the discharge the static when I wasn’t near a vent or flue.
