stupid woman + electric fence

[Fuzznugget]

We live on a dairy farm. The road to the farm dead ends, but there are footpaths that run across the fields and at the end of the road. There are calves out in one of the fields where the house is, and across the road there is a herd of 29 cows. That side has electric wire all around it. Friend of mine went to the store for me one day, and on the way back, some woman was about to grab the electric wire with her bare hand so she and her daughter could get under. So my friend says 'wouldn't do that if I were you, that's live' and woman says to him 'what do you know' and proceeds to grab hold of live wire. He said she squealed something fierce. That's what ya get when you don't listen to warnings about the electric! And why do people need to walk THROUGH the cow field? There is a perfectly good footpath that runs next to it, no electric what so ever!

We have this often, if only they would just stick to the footpaths everyone would be happy! It does make me smile when they get a good zap for trespassing though, is that really bad?

*raises hand* I once tried to tie a broken electric fence back together without turning it off. Might explain why I go my first grey hairs as a teenager I haven't tried it since! Still got the grey hairs though.

omg I did this the other day! lol didn't know it was half on/half off to be fair. we fenced off a section with electric for the mare and when I went to put the electric back on the big paddock, the end that was off met the end that was on. It was not good.

When I was about 12 I was messing around up the yard with a friend and we were leaning over the electric fence to stroke one of the sheep. She said be careful, that's on, and I said oh well how would you know? Grabbed it, jumped backwards about ten feet and fell on the floor half laughing and half hysterical/shocked. She was in hysterics laughing at me. Lesson learned

Always a thrill!

I tried to shimmy through two strips of rope, the lowest just being about 1 inch higher than crotch level. This was the day I attached it to the mains and it tested at 7000V! 7000V in the crotch is not nice If I were a guy I guess it could have been even worse...

My dog once peed on the electric fence...he squealed a bit too silly boy!!

This is a good one....was showing male good looking young housesitter the ropes and said, this is the electric and it is connected so don't touch it, if you want to turn it off you go over there and turn it off (so I didn't turn it off) and then you just get hold of it like this and ...aaarrrggghhh...fffff......So make sure you turn it off first!
