does anyone know anything about static shocks?

[mufti]

i used to get them a lot in my youth , and have suddenly started getting them again
its getting a bit much, every time i go to get something off the supermarket shelf, press a lift button, or use pedestrian crossing.
i use my sleeve if i have one, or sometimes forget, and ooh, not nice.

Are you wearing nylon knickers .

Sorry, that's not very useful.

i had a massive one in boots today ...sparks and everything.

Do you wear CROCS? I find I get them more with Crocs

definite no to that one

sparks? eek

I often get them on the car door for some reason and I sm nylon and croc free

I get them loads. Especially when I am pushing a buggy or touching DH's car door or in a local shopping centre....

I get them a lot too, especially in warm weather.
