This isn't inspired directly from that one ElectroBOOM's video on YouTube where he clearly explains about his own shocking life stories with various electronic devices that he used to deal with (specifically back in his good old days), which was the reason about how come if his YouTube channel itself is now existed since his first video where he shocked himself for very first time on camera with that ESD device... In relation particularly about him and his shocking life stories though, I also have plenty of my own shocking life stories which involves various electronic devices, including electric fans (though I already explained them in one of my older Blogspot articles about it, so I decided to list them again). Without further ado, let's take a look at my own list of my own shocking life stories, shall we?

| (this wasn't the same night light that i was referring below [👇], because it was occurred in my childhood house...) |
- I was once tried to plug a mini night light on the power outlet, and there was an earphone cable hanging RIGHT in front of the power outlet. I recklessly plugged it in, and BANG!!! My childhood house's entire power got cut in that evening!
- One of my family's relative's from my mom's side was attempted to reuse one of the unused old E27 light fixture that was laying around since the last usage of it (which was from several years ago). He tried to use it in order to add the additional light in the kitchen of my childhood house by installing a random low wattage CFL bulb on it, and it suddenly BANG!!! My childhood house's entire power got cut in that evening!
- During one of the class sessions in my old primary school, there was a moment where one of the teachers brought an accumulator as a part of the study itself. I touched the top part of accumulator itself, and I immediately got shocked.

| (this wasn't the same vintage fan that i explained below...👇 [since this one clearly had completely different brand]) |
- In one of neighborhoods of my childhood house, there was a vintage Sanyo (❔) desk fan running on 110v of voltage rating, which it used to work just fine since it was connected to step-down transformer (if I guessed that right). I decided to move it to another spot, which I stupidly connected it to the power outlet with standard 220v/50Hz of power rating, which caused the fan itself release some smokes out from it after several seconds later.
- I was having fun with that one AC 220v cooling fan that I used to have, which I purchased in 2014. Somewhere from almost a decade ago, I was stupidly had fun by playing around with it due to some boredom that happened to me at the moment. Then, it suddenly decelerated yet it also produced some burning smells, and then it POPPED! The fan just stopped working due to the sudden burnout that suddenly occurred, yet it also popped my previous house's MCB. After all of that occurred, since it wasn't working anymore, I obviously trashed it away, and that was basically it.
- A ceiling light socket in the TV room of my previous house used to trip the MCB plenty amount of times every single time I turned it on by flicking the light switch that was connected to it, especially when it used to equip any CFL bulbs on it regardless of the amount of wattage that they used to have. I decided to replace it with the LED bulb, and it did work just fine, except with some flickers every single time I turned it on. However, a repairman already replaced the light socket itself with a better one later on, and the old light socket itself also caused the small portion of the ceiling where it used to be installed got torched slightly.
- My current house's indoor MCB used to trip the entire house's power several times due to it was faulty by all of the sudden specifically in that night, so I had to call a repairman in order to replace it with a better one.
If you have your own shocking life stories with various electronic devices that you ever experienced, feel free to share your own story specifically about it in the comments section if you're able to. That's basically it for what I could particularly say to it, and as always, thanks for reading this particular article.
