If he did this as a joke, or to teach you a lesson, then it's not funny,
and that idiot should be LARTed before he kills somebody. The mains
(certainly not 240V mains, but 110V can be lethal too) is not a suitable
subject for practical jokes.

On the other hand I do agree that you should always check the power is
turned off yourself. If I was working with _anyone_ else I'd always
check. And while I'd never say I'd turned the power off if I hadn't, I'd
expect you to check. I certainly wouldn't be offended if you did.
