My bad touch

I feel like I have the "bad touch" when it comes to electricity. Last month I was watching a movie when the TV blew, which resoulted in us getting a new HDTV. Earlier this evening I was reading a book when the room was getting darker as the sun was going down so I went to turn on the lights to see and resoulted in the light popping followed by smoke. I'm starting to be afraid to turn on light switches now.
