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...

Grew up and worked on farms, so yes multiple times.
How many times was that from pissing and hitting an electric cattle fence?

When I was young I had no sense
I stuck my dick on an electric fence
It curled my hair
It tickled my balls
And it made me shite in my overalls

Anyone that has been electrocuted can any longer post here. They are dead. Electrocution implies death. You were shocked.
Thank you grammar nahtzies. Everyone knows what the OP meant.
Common vernacular is sometimes inconsistent with accurate definitions. Context is important. The context of the OP question implies the recipients here are in fact alive.

i’ve been mildly shocked but never what i would call electrocuted
i have a plug with long prongs and a extension. cord with a very shallow plastic part because you get to the part that connects to electrify.

One was on a different breaker for some reason and lit me up.
Kitchen is required to have two 20A branch circuits.

Thankfully not, but I did witness a person getting struck by lightning about 50 feet away from me, it was pretty surreal. Unfortunately, they didn't survive.
Dad witnessed a freak lightning death too.
When he 1st went to work for Citgo he was designing gas stations on mainly odd shaped lots leftover from major development (this was mid to late 60’s).
He was at a site outside of a brand new mall in central Florida and it was a bright sunny day. Said the lightning came from a solitary cloud near the horizon and struck 1 man as he loaded his shopping into the trunk of his car. Just a bright flash followed by a single clap of thunder and a dead body lying in the parking lot.
Dad always checked the sky when parking in wide open spaces for the rest of his life.

In the country, you learn which farmers run really hot fences and which ones are just hot. (Johnny ran his fence so hot that you didn't want to walk on wet grass near it.)

Was changing a ballast once, light was over the front entrance and I didn’t know wired to bypass the wall switch to stay on as a security light. Didn’t get me but left some soot on my hand when it arced.

No you haven’t. Electrocution ends in death. Receiving an electrical shock is what happened to you

I'm a lazy dumbass sometimes when it comes to repairing things around the home and I've been zapped quite a few times by ceiling fan wires, ceiling light wires, and when replacing outlets.
My breaker box wasn't labeled when we moved in and has like 50 switches

I got bitten when pushing a power mower up under bush. Really weird.
I was putting up a ceiling fan and stupidly left the juice on.
Never anything bad.

Okay. You answered my question.
I also thought that electrocution meant death.
