Caution: High Voltage!

I got bit by the high voltage cap on a CRT when I was 15. Lesson learned. Didn't happen a second time. At the TV repair shop I was working in at the time (73-74) the tech there would charge big caps, fold the leads against the body and wait until I came around the corner and yell "think fast" as he tossed it at me. Had the snot shocked out of me many many times.

 

I have a deep and abiding respect for the shock that capacitors can supply and treat them accordingly.
