Static electricity?

Question

Wear a metal watch. Touch the watch to the metal doorframe or whatever is metal around you. You will discharge through the watch and it will be distributed. You will not feel the shock.
Even taking a set of keys with a metal key ring will work.
Bottom line if you have a piece of metal in your hand or on your arm and touch that first. You won't get the shock.
Another trick. If you are erasing a dry board. Hold the metal frame with one hand while you erase with the other. Then you won't get zapped. It seems erasing white boards builds up charge real fast.

Don't you just hate winter - and the dry air indoors?

I used to get shocked all the time. Now I usually have something metallic in my hand. A car key or metal pen. Sometimes I touch my watchband to a ground, like a door knob, shelf, light switch, etc.

Some types of shoes cause more charge than others. Leather soles are good for generating a killer spark.
