i did
just happened to me last week, twice, as i prepared my laptop,
first is when i get it to connect to my macbook air(not yet on)
second is when i wondered why there is a shock when im still not connected to the electric socket. so i touched it again
since that day, i only touch the rubberized white portion

I've been shocked by my iBook plug a few times in the last 3.5 years!
It probably still amounts to less than 20, the tip's not to touch the prongs 😱
It doesn't hurt, just feels like someone's hit your funny bone.

No, but I've always had a fear of getting zapped by that.
Somewhat related: after I retired my PB G4, I touched it when it was plugged in and the entire case was "buzzing" with electricity. No shock, just "tingly." Needless to say, that PB won't be charged up again.😱
