Getting my brother to unplug devices before cleaning stopped short circuits
He wiped down electronics while they were still on. I explained how moisture causes electrical shorts, so now he always unplugs everything first.

Only took a near-death experience to learn basic safety. Glad the house didn't burn down for that lesson.

Honestly used to roll my eyes at all the safety talk, @jamesmason, but having a close call like that really does flip a switch in your head. Guess some lessons just have to stick the hard way.

Why does it always take a scare for people to get it though? Tbh, I've seen folks ignore safety stuff even after a warning, @jamesmason. Some people just won't listen until something bad happens right to them. It's a pretty risky way to learn. Makes you wonder how many close calls it takes for some.
