Simply shocking

Ok in case you are wondering we got a washer and dryer now. Well we also had to buy alott of shit to get it working properly. Today we had to get two new valves for the washer and a new cord for the dryer. Well in a stoke of genius I wanted to make sure the plug would work in our outlet without it being hooked up to anything. I DID NOT plug it in I almost did and it shocked the shit out of me. I could not hear anything for over an hour. After that was over with we get home get everything put together and I touch the fridge and get shocked again. After another plug on the fridge that is fixed. So my moto now is if it is electrical I ain't touching it.
