argonautweakend 01/01/18 2:01:25 AM #1:	outlets that I guess are a hair too big for most of my plug ends? I suppose I could buy new outlet thingies because these iirc havent been changed in 30 years, but a lot of my wall outlets I have some plugs that fit but so loose they almost fall out. Power strips are fine. <cite>argonautweakend posted [p:893216930] in Am I the o... [t:76156874]...</cite> <quote>outlets that I guess are a hair too big for most of my plug ends?

One mistake and youre dead before you knew you goofed, electricity does not care about you. Ive had outlets like that before in older houses. You could also use a small strip of electric tape to just put on the sides of the plugs to help them stay in place. --- All praise Mead <cite>Mead posted [p:893217856] in Am I the o...

Smarkil 01/01/18 3:36:10 AM #9:	Just change it. And no, you're not going to die from getting shocked by a wall outlet unless your house is shitty and house a fuse box. The absolute worst thing that could happen is that the circuit breaker is tripped. I've been shocked changing wall outlets a few times out of laziness. If you wanna do the smart thing, flip the breaker and change the outlet. It's the easiest fucking thing in the world. Don't pay someone to do it.
