Electrical Safety Quiz

Ah, that makes total sense. So, I'll flame your useless lard ass to show that you flamed my ass?

This really improves the mood and joy and gaity on the list. I'm pleased to hear from you, idiot ;)

Again, thank you.

Does that explain the surprised look on that little guy with the braces, retainer, and salt bucket stuck on his foot?

Use my voltage detector to see if it's the hot or neutral. If neutral, pull the blade with Leatherman. If hot, start turning off breakers till I get the right one.

Don't try this at home, I'm shober, and processional. I also died a couple days ago.

Finally, someone with a correct answer!

I have had this happen a few times. Mostly because I tripped on the cord. In that case, I just shut the power off, test to make sure it's off, then remove the prong with a plyers.

If however, the plug overheated and broke off, I would replace the outlet. I actually had a prong weld itself in an outlet once.

I didn't call the FBI :)

You hit the nail on the head with the "idiot" moniker. He(?) sounds as abrasive as someone else here that uses a military prefix to his name. Could it be the same "idiot?"

Does your dictionary have "person who disgrees with the opinions of Gordon" against the entry for idiot?

I had a military prefix years ago, but I haven't been in this group before about 2 weeks ago.

Why did the prong get stuck in the outlet in the first place? Are the terminals inside the outlet bent or something?

Even if the outlet is in perfect condition, how am I going to get the prong out. If it's really stuck inside the outlet, I would need to resort to needle nose pliers, and/or poke something in to wedge it out. Depending on how stuck it is, I would probably cause more damage to the outlet.

Seriously, it's safer and easier to just replace the outlet.

Of it's REALLY stuck, replace the outlet. But if it just broke because you or someone/something else, tripped on the cord, you can usually just remove that prong. Just make sure the power is OFF when you do.

I cant think of this ever happening to me inside the house, but it's happened several times outdoors. I could have an extension cord for my power tools in an outlet, and some lumber falls down, ripping that cord out of the outlet. Hence, a prong is broke off. If I have to do a repair around livestock, they are prone to knocking stuff down and yanking out cords. Sure, I try to keep them out of my work area, there are times when that is not always 100% possible.
