Answer 1

You are generating a lot of static electricity. My guess is that you are wearing clothing with a lot of man-made fibres, you have nylon carpets, wear thick-soled shoes and are living in a dry atmosphere caused by central heating.

Answer 2

You're not the only one.. I get this too and it drives me NUTS!! It's especially bad in the winter time when the dry heat from the furnace is running at full blast. I get shocked when I touch my car door to close it after getting out of it and sometimes the shock is so severe that it sends a wave of electricity all the way up my arm. OUCH!! I have even noticed this to be a problem in the grocery store, again, mostly in the winter time and just about every time I touch a metal surface of any sort. I know I have to look like a complete a$$ reaching for a can of soup with the uttmost hesitation while wincing in anticipation of a potential electrocution! I've even gone to extremes and purchased a can of Static Gaurd from the laundry aisle to carry around with me in hopes that it would help but it didn't seem to do much good. The best advice I can give you is to run a humidifier in your home and/or office to keep the air from becoming too dry. You may also find it helpful to add dryer sheets or liquid fabric softner to your daily laundry routine. This should eliminate static in your clothing to some degree I hope this helps.

Answer 3

more than likely you are wearing clothing made from nylon and it is causing a build up of static then when you touch anything or anyone it discharges to what ever you touch unlees you change your clothing it will always happen

Answer 4

static, I'd say. Find out where it's coming from! Usually friction.

Answer 5
