I was shocked from doing wiring once, it was uncomfortable but not painful. I had just wired up a replacement light switch for a family friend and I had my hand in there moving it to center it for the faceplate when they turned the breaker back on.

My mom has a similar experience, light switch and all, and it was much more violent.

The feeling of 120V is not great, but not terrible. You've got to remember that the electric fence is made for pain, though.
