About those wee electric shocks you get when you touch things/people?

[DizzyPhillips]

I know this sounds absolutely batshit. I know.

But i seem to get these constantly and it’s actually getting me down! I feel like every time I touch anything I get a shock! It doesn’t seem to matter what I’m wearing or where I am.

It’s worst at work. Every time I touch the printer for example. It just happens all the time.

I don’t know why it’s getting to me so much it’s such a minor thing.

Has anyone tried the static strip that hangs on the back of your car? Do they work? I'm so desperate to stop the awful shocks, I'll try anything!

I was reading about those static strips the other day and they don't do anything.

The way to avoid static shocks is to keep discharging the static, so touch metal every time you see any. Also avoid man made fibres in your clothing.
