science Static Electricity

[Phosphor 11,529]

Static electricity is particularly bad during the winter when the humidity is low. I seem to charge up like a giant capacitor and find it extremely annoying. So much so, I often carry a metal rod in my pocket and use it to discharge on a door knob instead of my fingers. It works well. 

Anybody else find static electricity to be irritating?

Whenever I pet my dog after she was laying on the couch. Science is pain.

I think it is fun to get shocked every once in a while.

I wouldn’t be called Arc Flash if I didn’t like a little shock

I get shocked every time I get into my brother's car. I hate that. I don't mind rubbing my feet on the carpet and shocking someone else with a nice handshake, but without that element of added fun, I can do without it.

Don't even get me started.  For some reason I'm always getting shocked by static electricity when I'm in Walmart.... And it also sometimes happens if I touch the outside of a car.

Remind me to never let you pump gas.

The only time I've felt guilty for my static are the times where I accidentally shock my kitties nose.

I do not like static electricity at all during the winter. I have carpet so sometimes it intensifies the shock. Doorknobs are the worst as i touch those the most. I always try to remember to clench my hand before touching something cause getting shocked in a finger is worse then getting a shock to the knuckle ha

Static electricity is really intense in my room. It's a bit frightening at times.

It's so bad that when my dog jumps up on me while I have my earbuds in it makes a sound.

Every single time I take the clothes out of the laundry, I just die on the spot. It's that bad.

Gotta love high voltage clothing. lol  

Have you tried using dryer sheets to avoid the static buildup?

Static electricity just takes me by surprise

Yeah I've tried using them. It's not that bad butt I still end up getting shocked stuffing my hands in the dryer.

The car I drive in shocks me quite frequently when I close the door and touch its metal handle, so that's annoying.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I normally don't mind it, it usually only annoys me when it hurts.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,305]

A total pain when you handle clothes and the dryer

I always seem to get static shocks off cars, usually mostly from the doors when getting out but also from the seat adjustment lever in one of our cars too.

[Clawdeen 14,159]

Due to the machine I run at work I get static shocked like daily. It’s annoying

My poor cat gets zapped all the time in the winter when I pet him. Not much I can really do about it though.

Is your superhero name 'Thunder Girl', Dreamy? 

 

I think I'm secretly Zeus. 

[Twilight Sparkle97 402]

Yes. I hate the feel of shocks.

Aren't we all big capacitors?

The bane of my existence. Every time I touch something metal, zappppp

This thread reminds me of how much I don't like Spyropyro on YouTube.
