I uh, have been guilty of similar lack of safety protocols in the distant past. I fortunately learned my lesson by shorting a $900 AC control board and not shocking myself, but needless to say it really is worth taking the time to do it right.

I just zapped myself so hard my hand flew back and got cut on the metal box. Hurt a bit, but it was $900 cheaper than your lesson. :)
