    I was installing lights once on a stepladder. Asked my girlfriend at the time, “can you switch off the fuse for the bedroom?”. “Sure thing!” was the reply. I got a massive jolt that spread down my body and rattled the ladder. Somehow didn’t fall. Just stepped down and processed a few things.

      Lights were on the fuse marked “lights” and she switched off the wall sockets?

        so it was a misunderstanding between “sure thing” meaning “I’ve already done it” and “sure thing” meaning “I’m on may way to do it”
