Shocked several times, electrocuted? No.
The best (worst) was hitting an electic horse fence with my neck while barefoot standing in water. I was on the ground in an instant wonder what had made that strange sound (I made the sound).
Next best was getting hit with 480v in a mall. I was looking for a 120v circuit to tie into and the breaker panel was in a locked service closet and no one could find the guy with the key. I was on a ladder in the ceiling but swore loud enough for the shoppers got some free entertainment

I have been lit up bu 120 and 240 many times. Worst was 277 while up in a ceiling grid that ended up having me "completing the circuit" for 12 - 2x4 layins while up on an 8ft ladder.
Needless to say my father was an electrician and I grew up in the trade, so shite happens.
I haven't been involved in construction now in almost 20 years. Scarier discussion were about listening to the stories from the oldtimers about having to "clean up" after accidents. Everything from guys coked out in the 80's trying to get things done on a shutdown to crack heads breaking into live gear for the copper...
