| I got angry and ripped an electric socket out of the wall by mistake. Now half the electrical system in my house has shorted. I'm home alone. WHAT THE HECK SHOULD I DO?! |

Your problem and not ours.
In every problem, there is a reason. If it has none, aliens did it. |

how did you randomly pry off a socket
do you gain coordination when you're angry?

@catz, when I get angry, I do dumb stuff @SoS, that is not an option. |

"Google, great idea."
Don't touch any broken wires, though, you might get electrocuted (if that wasn't obvious)... |

Its pretty easy to fix if you know a bit about doing electrical work.
Just be sure to turn all the breakers off before doing anything, and google how to do it.

| @OTRainbow, I know a little about electronics and I know I am screwed. I went down to the fuse box and half of the breakers are blown. |

| On a scale of 1-10, how dead do you think you'll be when your parents come home? |

| I'm not sure what you should do. Maybe call an electrician, but surely stay away from Craigslist. Maybe confess to your parents, but they'll get angry because they might have to spend money. |

@SoS, 15 Ok, I know how to fix breakers, I just have to drive to Lowes, get the stuff I need, replace the breakers, reinstall the socket, not cause a fire, and not get caught. |

| I have a truck. I'm 15 so I can't get caught driving, so I have to be very careful. With the help of google I think I can fix the breakers and the socket. Now I pray nothing else is wrong. |

so w8 you've got your temp license? you could try calling a relative or something if you need to get to Lowe's that badly or you could take the flak from your parents and have them drive you up to Lowe's to get the stuff you'll probably get a lighter punishment if you're honest with them anyway I mean, if I shorted out half my house's electricity in blind rage, my dad might swear a little less if I told him instead of just trying to fix it myself Then again I'm 14 and don't know how to fix it |
