I was play in my room on the shaggy carpeting and I got up to turn on or off a light and received a mild static electric shock from the light switch. From that point on I was convinced that little men lived inside the light switches and would come out and poke you with a pin (I suppose I thought the shock felt a bit like a pin prick). I didn't touch the lights for quite awhile, prefering to live in the dark than risk being pricked again!
