One of my employees swears that if he touches the hot screw on the side of an outlet or switch, he won't feel anything. He says only if he happens to touch the outlet metal or ground or neutral at the same time, then he gets shocked. But I'm sure I've gotten shocked many times in 20 years by touching only the hot screw. Am I right ? My body acts as a ground, right ?
