I am always giving people electric shocks, my friends actually believe I conduct electricity. I really don't understand how electric shocks between people happen, someone clever and good at Science should enlighten me on the subject.
It's actually really embarrasing for me! Does anyone else share this pikachu ability?
Only in winter.
protip: stop wearing fleecey jackets ;)
When I touch a car door I get an electric shock alot, but other than that i'm static-less.
My cat hates because of it. Pet, pet, pet *SHOCK* pet, pet, pet, *SHOCK*. And my chair's always shocking me too and my car door and my house door. A bunch of stuff shocks me xD

I wish I could give YOU an electric shock. Twice. :mad2:
A static charge builds up along your body until it reaches the discharge load of 10 kV (or 20, I forgot), which allows electron emission from your body by ionizing the air between your finger and whatever ground is available(usually something metal).
Anytime you want, baby :joey:Quote:

Just like Jesus!
Zeldy , the force is strong with you
I work in a supermarket and the plastic carrier bags always give me shocks.
Parker supermarkets are a lot worse for shocks, pull a manual pump truck anywhere and zaaap! Pull a roll cage anywhere and it's like zap zap zaaaaaaaaaaaap! I get so many electric shocks from where I work in HMV, seriously we have started to wonder if I could power a LPO's radio.
I am too weak for the manual stuff I just scan items
I'm not fantastically strong but moving stuff on a manual pump truck is easy, I moved 1.73 tons of compost growbags up a ramp once on one, that was hard!Quote:

you create the static by walking so you rub your legs together and create static from your pants.
protip: walk like john wayne to avoid your legs rubbish against each other.
The image of Zeldy John Wayning down the street will never leave me. xD
Whenever walk past metal objects I touch them so static doesnt get the chance to build up in my body. It's a small compromise in my daily life but I'm willing to make the sacrifice so that I atleast have a small awareness of when i'll be shocked. However because i go to such trouble whenever someone shocks me just to annoy me, no matter how good my terms are with them I tend to retaliate with more force than i normally would.
More Force Lightning, right? Yeah, I'm right.
I get shocked or shock someone else only during summer. Odd. =/
