At the moment I am a walking Spark.
Everything I touch I get zapped by it.
I am full of Static electricity and am starting to get real peeved off with it.

I touch my partner I get zapped.
He put his finger on the tip of my nose last night,
I got zapped.

I cannot touch anything made of metal without getting zapped.
I am a walking zapper.

Does this happen to you.
If so what did you do to get rid of the static from your body.
Can anyone offer any suggestions.
I was thinking maybe I should attach a anti static rubber strip to my butt.

I can really feel for you my friend, I used to get "shocked" every time I went in an elevator. It doesn't happen very much now but does give you a bit of a zap when it happens. I think it has something to do with what footwear you are wearing at the time and if you are wearing nylon.

How's life on the other side of the ocean, still thinking about our goal to swim it one day happy?

HUGZ from Kitten1954


myLot reputation of 91/100. dancingmooney (781)   ranked 115 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

Oh yeah, that could be too... the type of shoes you are wearing with the type of flooring you are walking on... I never thought of that!!

Good luck.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7284)   ranked 1 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

Hi Kitten,
It has been happening for at least a month now.
Instead of easing off it is getting worse.
Pretty bad when I cannot even touch my man without getting zapped.

I think we may need to put our swim off for awhile,
It is freezing here, I would turn into a floating block of ice.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7284)   ranked 1 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

Oops forgot that part.

All my floors are tiled, I have no carpet.
And the soles of my shoes are rubber.


myLot reputation of 62/100. RhythmWalker1 (661)   ranked 134 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

As someone else said, check your foot-wear. This is a problem for me always.
I can't wear a watch of any kind. My doctor told me that some people actually
have more "electricity" flowing through them than others do.
You may need to discuss this with your doctor also.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7284)   ranked 1 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

Hello RhythmWalker1, yep my footwear may very well be part of my problem.
I wear rubber soled shoes as my floors are tiled.
Leather is far too slippery on tiles.

Haha... sorry hun, but I just had to laugh when I read your post.

A few years ago, I had a job that for some reason, there was a lot of static in the air, and I was constantly getting zapped when I touched the file cabinet and such. It was so bad that it became a subconscious habit to touch the file cabinet with my elbow before I opened it with my hand, so I could get the zap someplace besides my finger tips... haha.

As for what to do? Well, do you have a lot of fans running right now from the summer heat? Try putting lotion on your hands and arms, letting some moisture back into your skin, even try rubbing a bit into your hair... not a ton, but like rub lotion into your hands and then allow that to just rub across the top of your head.

I don't know if it truly works or not, but I used to do that when I worked at that job, because I didn't know what else to do. It seemed to help. I think when our skin is just totally dry and lacking moisture we are more apt to get shocked, but I really don't know the truth behind it. I know how frustrating it can be though...

*hugs* Hope you find some relief.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7284)   ranked 1 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

Hi Dancingmooney, No I do not have any fans running, it is our winter here.
I do not even have a heater running.

I will try the lotion on my hands and arms.
I do use it when I get out of the shower,
But perhaps I should use it several times a day.

I have been touching everything with the back of hand to try and stop getting zapped.
Some of the zaps are getting rather painful now.
Thank's so much for your suggestion.

myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7284)   ranked 1 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

Hi Tamara,

I am really getting fed up with being a bright spark,
It is getting rather painful now.

All my floors are tiled,
None of my clothing is nylon, my shoes are rubber soled.
Maybe I will need to use the anti static strip hanging from my butt. LOL

a firefly in the day is as good as sunglasses at night.

my burd makes me full of static and my hair stands on end. i look like einstein on acid.

only way to avoid it is to wear cotton gloves.

no luck. i touch my snookums and pass on charge. her eyes go red lol!


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7284)   ranked 1 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

Cotton gloves Captain, umm may be a bit hard washing the dishes with cotton gloves on.

I hate that time of year... The best thing to do is release the static build-up by touching something non-metal/non plastic before you touch metal or plastic or another human (although the human aspect is not always feasible.) This will release the build up and you won't get zapped.

Also before getting out of your car.. hold onto the metal door frame WHILE you are getting out. This way you are grounded and the electricity can not travel.

Good Luck! And stop being so electrifying lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7284)   ranked 1 out of 143 in human being  4 months ago

HiYa Dizzy, it is our winter here, I thought that may of been the cause.

But I am the only one in the house affected by it.

I will try touching something plastic first,
But sometimes there is no plastic nearby.
Thanks for your suggestion Dizzy.
Hopefully by the end of the day I will not be so electrifying. LOL
