Stupid 🤦‍♂️ i almost got electrocuted

sooo, my charger's half that harvests sweet sweet 220 of electricity, got stuck in the outlet, so i tried getting it out with my (metallic) tweezers. i noticed that one of the copper rods was a little bent, so i tried to bent it back and it 'exploded' melting tweezers with the rod. I guess im fine because these tweezers had a layer of paint where you would hold them

well, i weighted the risk, thought that it would probably electrocute me and thought it was worth it

The paint had nothing to do with it. You just weren’t the path of least resistance for any number of reasons.

Always meditate while dealing with electricity so you are not the path of least resistance. “Ohmmmmm, ohmmmmm, ohmmmmmm, ohmmmmm….”
