Is it just my carpet or does anyone else get shocked when touching metal at least like 10x a day?

It's because it's been so dry lately.

not me, maybe its the kmart shoes you wear

Dry? that causes it?

Mostly happens here in the south when it's chilly.

dur you are not that smart, check your humidity when it happens, its just dry air, in the south and the mid west its only dry in the winter

Yeah. Happens to me all the time.

My niece is always getting shocked getting in and out of my car...just something that has gone on ever since I moved here.

it happens to me every fucking time i get out of my girlfriends car. but never mine. wtf is up with that. its gotten to the point i have to kick the door shut with my shoe because i hate getting shocked,

ok its not my house then :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

it's due to all the electronics in newer vehicles, generally. that's why women set themselves on fire at gas stations :)

:1orglaugh Yup all my buddies from Hawaii freak out when they move or visit Vegas since Hawaii is like 112% humidity and Vegas is prolly 12%

Apparently in the dry air you build up a lot more static electricity in your body.

Be careful pumping gas too :2 cents:

great minds... hehe
