haha I wouldn't say everyone but I can see someone making that mistake. Before I even open the side panel on my computer I turn off the PSU manually and unplug the power cord. After opening I make sure the mobo light is off. I wouldn't touch any hardware unless I was standing on hardwood floors or wearing a static strap.
