Got a nasty shock (literally) when I opened a junction box in St. Louis last Tuesday and found a live wire just floating around in there
I was swapping out an old ceiling fan in a 1920s house and the homeowner said they'd already killed the breaker, but that wire bit me right on the finger - luckily I had my insulated gloves on from a previous job or it could've been way worse, so has anyone else run into random live wires after the customer swore the power was off?

Man that's sketchy man, I always carry a non-contact voltage tester just for that reason, some homeowners forget or just straight up don't know what they're doing. Those old houses are full of surprises too, like the wiring was done by a drunk raccoon in the 20s lol.
