Live Wires Are Stupid Magnets

Customer: “Excuse me, I have these wires that are red, black, and white, coming out of my drywall in my garage. I touched them and they did not appear live. I need to do something with them so I can patch the wall.”

Me: “Okay, we can get some caps for you and some electrical tape. Just cap each one individually and wrap them individually with the tape and you can tuck them back into the wall without any issues.”

Customer: “Should I test them to see if they are live? Should I touch them to my tongue?”

Me: “No!”
