I did something really, really dumb when I was a teenager. I wanted to open up the front of a window airconditioner, it had frozen up, and I wanted to open it up so the ice would melt faster. I turned off the unit, but I didn't unplug it. And I didn't have a screwdriver so I used a kitchen knife with a wooden handle to jimmy it open. When the metal touched something inside that had juice in it, it melted the tip of the knife, and I had a long skinny burn on the palm of my hand from the strip of metal that was between the two pieces of the wooden handle. After that I became a believer in always unplugging.
