Default So effing pissed

So I have a problem that has been going on for awhile and I was wondering if any of you have it as well.

I get shocked by every ******* thing I touch.

At work I try to leave the room and the door handle shocks me. We have a lable printer that shocks me. I turn on the faucet and it shocks me. The ******* file cabnet shocks me. The metal trim around the light switch shocks me. and many other things.

It has been going on for months now and it doesn't seem to matter what king of shoes I'm wearing


IT'S SO GOD DAMN ANNOYING

I have that all of the time, not just in the winter. Do not what it is either? - except it gets really bad in the winter or when I have the furnace on because the dry air builds up more static electricity.

Haha that's so ridiculous. I can't remember the last time I got shocked from touching something. It has to have been years.

Humidity must be low where you are, Get some anti-static wipes if you can find em, and rub them on your hands. We have a lot of static where I work from Nylon materials we use. They will pop your *** when a hopper is vacuum loading material. Or you could try some cling free spray. It works on static pretty good too. Either way, dry air, + carpet = Zap..

I have the same ******* problem. Basically anything metal i.e. filing cabinets, the safe, desks, shocks me. I've even been shocked by the metal plates at the corner of walls before. I hate it. I always touch things really fast just to go ahead and get it over with.

I also have tried different shoes and nothing seems to help any. I also use fabric softener.

Ben, maybe we're just goddamn electric!
