Are you sure it is the bulb that its blowing and not the Gfi tripping? Try resetting the gfi. Also try swithing to an incandescent bulb and test your gfi. Also test the cfl in a non-gfi outlet. Cfls return power they don't use and may make the gfi trip. I am not an electrician, just personal experience.

What happens when you paint an electrical outlet?
That depends upon how neatly you paint. If you get paint inside the slots, it could interfere with the electrical connection that is supposed to be made when you insert a plug. If you only paint the outside and get no paint inside, then there is no effect on the functioning of the outlet.ANOTHER OPTION:Child proof plastic outlet covers can be painted over when painting the actual outlet. When you want to use the outlet, remove the plastic cover. When the outlet plug is not in use, insert the child proof plastic covers. The plastic cover will blend right in with the outlet cover plate. It looks very nice with Hammered Spray Paint!
What's being done wrong when the electric juicer keeps tripping the outlet?
Read your instruction manual. If it says "Do not plug into a plug with a ground fault circuit interrupter," you are plugging it into the wrong type of outlet. Otherwise and most probably, nothing is being done wrong when the electric juicer keeps tripping the outlet. The outlet is tripping due to a ground fault. That means there is a loose wire or bad wire in the electric juicer. The ground fault keeps tripping to keep you from getting electrocuted. If the juicer is new or still under warranty, you need to take it back. If it is not under warranty, you need to get it fixed or throw it away.
Why It is dangerous to stick a metal knife into an electric outlet apex?
Sticking a metal knife into an electric outlet is dangerous because metal conducts electricity, which can result in severe electrical shock, burns, or even death. The outlet can supply a high voltage that can cause serious injury or fatality. Additionally, it can lead to short circuits, potentially causing fires or damaging the electrical system.

How do you fix an outlet that is not working if it works when it is taken apart but not when it is is put back in the box?
if this is a regular 110 plugin, just replace it. I suspect that you are either shorting out the wire when it is folded back into the box or the wire has been flexed too much and when folded back into the box is creating a disconnect. In either case, check the box for scorch marks, the wire for weak points or breaks in the insullation, *and* replace the receptical.
