Gfci outlet feels warm to the touch?
It is normal for GFCI breakers and receptacles to feel warm to the touch while under load. They should not feel "hot". GFCI receptacles often protect other receptacles further down the line, so the load does not necessarily need to be plugged into the GFCI receptacle itself. AFCI breakers will also feel warm to the touch. Again the receptacles should not feel "hot". If they are hot or heat discolored, you should discontinue use and call a licensed electrician. C.

Can touching the metal part of a plug while putting it in an outlet shock you?
Depends on whether the metal part of the plug is contacting hot, low, or ground. It also depends on your skin resistance and your personal grounding when you touch it. Measure the "metal part" with a voltmeter (one lead on the "metal part", the other on a known ground) while wearing non-conductive gloves if in doubt. But this may not be a 100% guarantee, since there might be an intermittent connection between hot & the "metal part" of the plug.
Metal ice-cube tray and a plastic tub of ice cream are sitting in the freezer Why does the ice-cube tray feel colder to touch than the tub of ice cream?
The metal tray has both a higher specific heat (ability to gain or hold heat) and a higher conductivity (ability to transfer heat). So while the ice cream will increase in temperature where you touch it (and hence only absorb a small amount of body heat), the tray can absorb more heat, and transfer it to all of the metal and ice in the tray. (This is also why you can lick a wooden pole in the winter, but not a metal one!)
