Man electroluted charging up phone!!?

People just don't have that knowledge anymore. They assume the electricity will turn off when it shorts.

Many bathrooms do have special circuit breakers to prevent this, but he used an extension cord from another room.

electricity and water don't mix, some people are too attached to their phones... ...

That's nature's way of thinning the herd. I understand the idiot is up for the Darwinian Award trophy... Sometimes all we can do is bow our heads (to hide our smirks), close our eyes and slowing shake our heads from side to side... yet it continues to happen, and the herd is thinned bit by bit, one at a time but just not fast enough, evidently.

Darwin award candidate for 2017.

I personally think things should be more dangerous just to remove the stupid from the gene pool.

omg that is bad ...

yes water and soap and electric do not mix.

Did he have it connected to his testicles?

Um....the output from a phone charger is 5 volts, no more than 1 or 2 amps. That's not going to kill anybody except maybe a gerbil.

Shocking.

Definitely up for a Darwin Award this year.

Its a crazy world. If a novelist wrote that in a work of fiction the reader would not accept that anyone could be so stupid !
