Why do I keep getting shocked?

I keep getting shocked by EVERYTHIGN I touch! I even brushed my finger along a house plant and it shocked me! My finger came about 3 inches away from a metal desk and I saw a blue spark without even TOUCHING the metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep complaining about this around the office and nobody seems to be having the same problem as I do... what's going on?

Why do I keep getting shocked?
Pick your feet up when you walk. If you shuffle your feet you build static electricity. Also wear cotton clothes. If you wear knit sweaters and things like that, they tend to build static too. It would help if they put humidifiers in your office.
Reply:Dry air combined with nylon fabrics tend to produce a lot more static electricity. Try touching appliances that are plugged into a grounded outlet. You may be able to reduce the amount and severity of the shocks.
Reply:Your office has nylon carpets, and you shuffle when you walk. It's called static.



When I was a kid we would go to the movie theater (they had nylon carpets) and rub our feet along, then touch someone on the ear- very painful for a moment.
Reply:Hi,



Your body is more static sensitive. i mean your body temperature is higher than normal, even i had the same problem then i had to basically cool my body by drinking lots af water and having fruits like that. If the problem continues consult a physician.



Thanks.
Reply:You just have this electric personality! That's good! Try putting some dryer sheets in your shoes!
Reply:Dry air in the house will also contribute to static electricity. If you get a humidifer it should help.
Reply:I've went through this before and was told it was because around an area of lower humidity. Apparently, the drier the air the more static electricity. Are you running a heater a lot ?
Reply:that just means that you have more electricity in you than those thing you are touching. dont where anything linen or nylon. dont rub your feet on the ground or carpet and dont rub you back on you chair. even if the floor is not fabric or like a rug you still have to pick up you feet. sometime i run my feet on the floor with my shoes on i can schock things.
Reply:Maybe its your shoes. They might attract more static electricity from the carpet than other shoes. And maybe you are wearing lots of metal... anyway, why is it bad to get shocked? You can walk up to someone and touch the back of their neck, make them jump a little... that would be really funny!
Reply:Maybe everything you touch is electrocuted.
Reply:The reason is because of static electricity. I have the same problem and did research on how to minimize (or avoid) static buildup...and this web link helped me A LOT!!!
