    A good time for a PSA from your friendly neighborhood electrician: make sure you have working GFCI protection in all bathrooms and kitchens to prevent unwanted tickle time

      Or, you know, just keep the toaster away from the bathtub/sinks?

        Hair dryers have killed people too, which are much more likely to be found in a bathroom. It’s why they all have GFCIs in their plugs. I’ve also heard tell of a girl who was electrocuted in the bath by her phone charger. The USB cord won’t do it; the 5V USB puts out can’t hurt you. But if the charging brick and 110V wall power cord you’ve plugged it into falls into the water with you you’re gonna do the 15 amp dance.

        It really is to save those that aren’t smarter than your average Bear from themselves. Logic would dictate that, yes, keep electronics or electrical appliances away from water, but too many people don’t connect the dots. Also too, accidents happen to the best of us.

          Idk, I don’t think I’ve ever had a toaster anywhere near a bathtub. That would be one crazy accident…

        This isn’t as dangerous as everyone describes. Painful. But not necessarily life threatening.

      I did once walk into a Wal Mart and bought a power drill, some road flares and a box of condoms. These were independent purchases but I just happened to need or want to buy all three that day. My only comment to the cashier was “This is gonna be awesome!”

      Extension cord for the toaster. So you can plug it in from the other room, or can substituted as a noose.

      Add a bottle of bleach. And a bottle of ammonia.

      A club size pack of sleeping pills.

      A refill pack of exacto blades.

      And 2 bottles of vodka.

    Reminds me of when me and a buddy were making rum in my apartment.

    An entire cart full of molasses and brown sugar.

    Clerk just looked and asked “doing a lot of baking?”

    Yep. Baking.

        The shopping or the rum?

        Both worked wonderfully.

        Made some white rum. (Nothing to it)
        Some dark rum. (Added Torched Oak™ in bottle - we developed a neat technique to speed up the barrel aging without barrels)
        Some spiced rum. (All the things)
        Some over proof rum. (98%abv straight off the coil)

    Why is a toaster the small electrical appliance of choice for that kind of thing? Good voltage/size ratio?

      In ye olde times, a toaster was basically the wire out of the wall, past the bread and back into the wall. It’s the most amount of exposed wire you can get

    It’s way less alarming if you explain that you won’t actually eat the bread.
