No but I did get stung by the absorbed current for some reason my hands were on the wooden interior of one of our windows as I was leaning to watch the strikes since it rarely happens around here got stung twice so I just stepped away and I quit watching Reminds me of my middle school. There were these vending machines that had a rather serious fault. They were kept in cages to prevent theft, but if any person touched the cage and any metal part of the vending machine at the same time (ie: The dispensing tray...) then you would get a shock. It was like playing a game of operation every time you wanted a soda. You'd also get shocked if you pushed the coin return. They machines were sadly removed after everyone in recess got together to form one massive daisy chain. One of us on the end grabbed the cage, and another on the opposite end pushed the return. It created a current that traveled through every single student in the chain. Had a sort of pleasant humming sensation traveling through your body. Naturally the teachers panicked at the idea of the students electrocuting themselves for fun. (Why they didn't react when the students first reported being shocked by the machine I'll never know.) --- She / Her Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't.
