I'm afraid to go outside as it is from these videos. Now I can't even charge my phone?

maybe he used a alternate charger, ALWAYS and ONLY use the charger that belongs to the phone, it mostly says so in the manual with BIG warnings

If you really want to be safe, use wireless charging. No direct electrical connection at all.

It's likely a combination of crappy engineering and faulty electrical wiring at the restaurant.

Definitely not a faulty electrical wiring.

Smartphone chargers are class 2 power supplies, that is theres more than one layer of isolation between the mains and the secondary (USB), the wingdings of the transformers of these high frequency power supplies are wound one over another, in a complaint class 2 supply there would be two layers of isolation (electrical tape basically) between the two windings, of course the cheap chargers don´t even have one layer, they only rely on the very very thin coating of the enameled wires in the windings, which are not rated for mains voltage to begin with.

Still it should not shock you to death unless you have a phone with a metal casing.

I'm so glad during my childhood, I only had a Game Boy to take outside to play with when bored and so I never got electrocuted. Poor little kid just wanted to play but ended up in a sad state.

We used to play with all the junk we could find in my nans garden. Anyway I ended up stabbing myself in the foot with an old rusty pitchfork, went all the way through. I'm not trying to one-up you or anything but.. I think I win.

This isn't the first time I've seen videos of this happening, and it was also in China IIRC.

I knew immediately it was China and building wiring.
