Six foot metal mic cord accidentially touched the positive power pole on my DC power strip and burned my hand. Wasn't even keyed up.

I accidentally sat on a battery once while working on the motor of my pickup (years ago, I'm a lot smarter now), it was a shocking experience to say the least. Still nothing beats hitting a hot cap by accident.
