  1. Yes, that actually happened to me…ONCE, IN OVER 55 YEARS!!! When I was around 10 years old, a pair (is it really a pair) of scissors fell off of my bed headboard and hit the plug that was slightly exposing the prongs of the plug, causing a momentary arching. I can’t remember if this broke the breaker, since it was like 45 years ago, but I remember seeing grooves in the plug due to the “welding effect“. Very improbable event, but quite fascinating!
