Context: I’m kinda tall at 1.81m. At least taller than they are.
I remember going to one of my neighbors… I was slightly sleepy and tired.
They asked me to get something from their pantry and I entered it without care…
When I walked back out, I realized that while going in, my hair brushed against an exposed, uninsulated, fucking 220v wire going to their light bulb which was hanging just above the door, kept in place by a single screw, with the cable and bulb just hanged off of it…

Suddenly I was wide awake
Why was there 220 powering a lightbulb?
Yea as the other person said, that’s just the AC voltage here (Romania, I think it may be the same across EU)
Probably cause that’s the standard mains voltage for the majority of the world.
