Shouldn’t Do This, but…

@goofyfoot  I use to do maintenance at an apartment complex years ago and changing outlets was not uncommon. Most of the time I would shut the easily accessible breaker off, but every now and then I would get cocky or lazy and would change it while it was live. And I did get zapped a few of those times and it did give off a good scary sting but I was basically fine and didn't need to be nominated for a Darwin award. The copper wire from the wall should be curved already and easily slipped on to the screw of the new outlet. I would go for it with some rubber gloves and be done with it.

breaker off 

do you change tires on your car while the car is in motion? your answer lies w/in this puzzle!

@jazzguy43 When I’m working in a NASCAR pit crew, yes.

the car does come complete stop for a few moments!!!

@jazzguy43 I have done a live recepticle exchange without getting shocked. I replaced the positive first. White, Black and then Ground. But for whatever reason now, I’m in a current state of neurosis, always contradicting myself. Really though, if I do this, I’m fairly certain no one will know the better.
