I have fond memories from my childhood involving outlets and cutlery.
Good times.
But seriously, the worst I ever got was from an electric fence designed to deter cows when I was ten. Myself and my friend were going through our "dumb scientist" stage, and kept doing stupid experiments that would most likely result in pain.

I got electrocuted at work by faulty equipment which compressed my C-6 vertebra by half an inch, and caused me to go through a workers comp lawsuit that has lasted 3 years...
not the most fun at all.

I accidentally one day by accident touched a electrically charged plug to my tongue while working on something.. Don't ask. It hurt.
After being inspired the leonard from the big bang theory, i got together a few pillows, simple mechanical arms and bits of wires lying around the house. I didnt insulate the wires properly so when i gave it a big hug, it hugged me and this wire which wasnt insulated or properly connected touched me and it gave me one hell of a shock. It took awhile to stop too because in the hugging position you can't actually rely on your muscles to jerk away from the shock.
P.S Yeah it's that hugging machine.

I was messing with a disposable camera once and put my finger on that lightning-bolt button area with the panel off. It was kind of like a really violent tingling. That's the worst form of electrocution I've ever experienced. Not as exciting as when I got burned. That's a much more interesting story...
Twice:
(1) Younger (age forgotten to time) -- Playing with a plugged-in extension cord. I know, I was a dumb little shit back then,
(2) 20 -- Unplugging an extension cord (I should've seen in it) with great difficulty while unknowningly standing in a small puddle of water (even more so), leaked from a steamtable. I guess I am STILL a dumb shit.

First time I remember, I was removing the plug for my Super Nintendo. My fingertip accidentally touched the conductor end of the plug while it was still halfway in, & the shock was so hard I yelled out loud & dropped the plug.
In my old home, the electric water heater could never be properly earthed, & more often than not, touching the faucet would cause little to strong electric vibrations or shocks. If you had a cut & put it in the water running, it would get shocked too! One time I was bored, so I just grabbed hold of the faucet with a hand & held on. It wasn't anything major, no burning, just numbness & vibrations. I'd even go so far to call it STIMULATING! I held on for around 15 minutes, then got bored & looked for something else to do.
The last time I got electrocuted was while I was being tortured by raiders who were robbing my home (true story).

i forgot the plug was on though so it exploded in my hand >_< that was painful

I had some uninsulated wires (barely the tip like less than 1 mm uninsulated) hanging 10 cm from the ceiling. I am a pretty tall guy and I was pulling another cable with a metal thingy attached to its end. When I lifted it over my head I went "Daadadadadadadadadadadadad" Then stopped. I was like... wtf? My knees were numb and that's about it that I can remember (I didn't pass out or anything. That's just what I remember)
I pulled out the plug for my Xbox 360 and a spark jumped to my hand and made my killing thumb go numb.
As a kid I found out about electric fences.
The raw shock was too much, but if I used a long leaf to dampen the shock, it was fun to feel the shocks in perfect, sequenced pulses.
Thought if I did it long enough I'd be able to retain the charge and expel it at will.
Damn you, X-men cartoons, DAMN YOU!
*shakes fist to the sky*
