Did it on an air compressor once. It'll grab you by the boo boo.

Got pranked as a kid by one of my uncles. He though it was funny as hell.

Even worse was getting hit by a race car magneto that a buddy of mine had. Spin it and it held a charge and he discharged it on my arm. He use to race back in the day when Laplace had a drag strip track. That shite hurt like hell.

Guilty. We had a yazoo type mower when I was a kid. The one with bicycle tires on the rear. I had to sit down & put my feet on the tires to crank this beast. The kill/stop switch had rattled off. I put it in my pocket & kept mowing. When finished, I grabbed it & touched the plug. Zap!!!

I piss on the spark plug because I enjoy the tingle.

So back in the early 90's my little brother was outside making fun of me while I was cutting the grass

He was perched up on our swingset. I casually pulled the mower up, touched the sparkplug to the metal slide and shocked the shite out of him

Not on a lawnmower but when I was 8 or 9 years old my go cart wouldn’t start so I asked my Dad to take a look. He told me to put my finger on the spark plug. He then tried to start it and it shocked the shite out of me. He said “well it’s getting fire so that isn’t the problem”.

When I was a kid, we had a mower that had a metal kill switch that you nudged with your finger till it touched the spark plug. My sweaty finger slipped 7 times out of every 10 and would touch the spark plug. Shocked the shite out of me. My dad never got rid of that mower cause it gave him so much enjoyment.

My kill switch broke on my gocart when I was little. After that to kill it I would use a screwdriver and ground out the sparkplug. I didn't have my hand all the way on the handle one time and it got me. Screamed like a little bitch.

Got hit when I was about 8 by the mower plug. I was checking spark on a boat motor last week and it got me pretty good. When I was about 12 I talked my younger cousin into holding the plug on the mower while I pulled the rope. Got my arse beat for that lol.

I was doing work on an old oldsmobile station wagon after it had rained, still somewhat drizzling. One spark plug wire was disconnected, car running, and I was leaning against the wet car, the electricity jumped off the cable to the car and my body was grounding it to the.... ground. It shocked very badly.

Old go cart with out a kill switch. We had the top of the plug cut off and had to ground it with a screwdriver to get the engine to stop. Worked great as long as the screwdriver had a plastic handle. Tried it one day with a spark plug wrench and lit my but up!
