telephone cables
reminds me of something my ex did. I was repairing the extension wire from the phone. re soldering the wires together as it had somehow snapped. But stupidly i left it plugged in. My ex comes in and is like, is that ok to do that when its plugged in? I said, yes its fine as theres only volts going down the line if the phone rings. And as it was 11pm it was unlikely.
A minute or so later and im just using the human wire strippers (teeth) and suddenly i feel an absolutle whack in the mouth. OWCH! She decided to test my theory and ring the phone from her mobile.

Cheers luv!

Yes
It hurts doesnt it?

Nope...
...line is always live! Around 50v I believe. It'll hurt much more in use (DC) then when idle (AC) but the AC isn't entirely nervous system friendly either.

I've fucked my front teeth using them as wire strippers!

That makes three of us
Damn, who'd have thought three people (at least could be so daft).
I knew about the constant 50V but absent mindedly forgot about it while moving a phone socket.
Tasted blood, hot blood.
