I would keep positive during these shocking times....

I always get a little belt after sitting on faux rattan furniture, doesn’t half smart sometimes..

I think you’re just on a bit of a power trip, personally.

Extremely low humidity at the moment. Makes my beard go all frizzy.

I regularly get shocked at work, the aluminium sheets I work with have a protective pvc layer to stop them getting scratched.

We have a loader that puts them on the laser bed but it regularly picks up several at once so we have to stop it and unstick them.

When the sheets separate you can see blue flashes of static as they separate. Then we come along and have to touch it so regularly get quite a substantial bolt!

What isn't pleasant is that I've usually got my headphones in so the current travels up the cable and I get shocked in my ears which is really unpleasant!

Me and the other bloke have even started playing rock, paper,scissors to decide who has to go electrocuted next.....

Get into the habit of using a key or similar to touch something that's earthed. You get a jolt because the static jumps from you to another surface with a different potential. Holding a key means it doesn't spark from your skin to the other surface, it sparks from the key.

The Mrs was saying earlier she's been getting a lot of static shocks from stroking the cat recently. Thought she was talking bollocks as usual but the cat looked pretty pissed off so I guess it was true.

Its a warning.
You will spontaneously combust within 48 hours.

I've been hoping for lots of electricity puns on this thread, but hardly any. Then, ohm my God - another one appears!

Flat fact , people who wear nylon pants are truly shocking .

Back in the early 80s I worked in Nat West, and we had those big sit in computers. They would cut-out / short circuit on a relatively regular basis, and it was usually blamed on staff wearing nylon underwear.

Now you mention it, I keep shocks everytime I open the car door. Never happened before. All my hair was standing on end when I was playing with the neighbours dog yesterday too, never happened before either.

The same thing is happening to me as well

 

[seagull 1979]

I’d avoid having a wànk for a while. I can send you some naked photos of the wife if that would help ease temptation...

That made me laugh a lot

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Swap out the PVC pants for Rubber.

 

[Cotton Socks]

everything I seem to touch at home gives me a static shock.
Audio system ouch
Turntable arm double ouch
Kitchen taps ouch

and the list goes on.

Anyone suffering the same or know the reasons why I have started to feel this.

I've noticed getting a couple of shocks from a car recently but if I was getting shocks from my kitchen taps and audio equipment inside the house... I'd be concerned! I think you'd be foolish to refuse to ask someone to look amp check it out.

Resisted it, but give it a phased approach and we’ll make sure there’s not a circuit breaker in the thread and keep it fused together.

If you plug the thread we’ll keep the sparks flowing and give the board power to keep the continuity as long as don’t get our wires crossed or no one short circuits the process.

That’s the current situation as I see it.

Nylon is most often the root cause.

Tiled or wooden floors in the home and leather seats in the car sorted my problem out years ago - oh, and wear cotton socks, not nylon.

It's getting harder to buy cotton clothes these days. Many are now 'cotton rich', which means there's something else in there like nylon or polyester.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Nylon is most often the root cause.

I know he's issued a couple of infractions recently but I hardly think he'd be travelling all the way from Essex just to shock someone regularly
