Back in my farm boy days we had 110v and 220v outlets right next to each other on the barn wall. They were clearly labeled but both were the same 110V outlet type. Then one day the white-wash guys came and painted half the barn. The next day they returned to finish the job and about dived for cover when their paint sprayer lit off like a small jet! I quickly pulled the plug and told them they had plugged into the 220v outlets. The guy fairly shouted at me: "YOU SHOULD LABEL THOSE!" I calmly replied: "They were labeled until some guy white-washed over them yesterday."

All the plugs in our rack look like 110 but they're 220. Don't ask me how I
know that.
