Csn you get electrocuted by a loose light socket?

I rent.

Light blew, got a new one , but when i went to change it , the light socket literally just twisted around.
And when i gave it a push (as you do with bayonet bases) it just slid up into the light batten.

I mean, i could turn off the circuit, but i looked in the breaker box....amd this place is so old all the lables have faded and i cant tell which is which.

And our landlord is shit at commiting to fixing stuff

Don't grab any of the part the light screws into
@Justafantasy i was just about too, and rethunk it.
I do have nitrile gloves, but then.....didnt want to risk it.

This is an oldish house, and ive already had to have two perished light fixtures replaced.
I hate calling in repairs , but then, if the landlord kept up this place - i wouldnt have to !😠
@OogieBoogie old house is going to have issues. Non metal parts or electrical should be fine to touch
