It is a technical mistake to touch a live electrical wire or to open a photo camera and simply pull out the film in a normal room. When two family members are in the peak of fight on account of some family matter, it is a mistake on the part of a stranger to repeatedly intervene despite being told that such interventions are not welcome.
