I've got a cable outlet in my house that's been giving off a weird metallic smell lately. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take to address this?

That's often jokingly referred to as "Engineer's Cologne"—definitely sounds like something isn't right! If it's safe, you should turn off the power to that outlet right away.
True, but it might be best to call in an electrician or your cable utility. Better safe than sorry!
