BzZZzzTtTt... Jayziz...!!!

I just got a static electricity shock from a sink of all things... and I didn't even touch it!

I was just putting a plate, knife and fork into the sink - my hand would probably have been in the centre, width-wise and about the middle height-wise of the sink, when suddenly I felt this static shock coming at me radially from all sides which made me jump backwards.

T'was strange... just made me wonder... what's the weirdest/most unlikely thing you've ever gotten a static electricity shock from ?

The hand rail on the right as you go up the stairs to the first floor in Hodges Figgis always gives me a shock.

Bard

lol MiCrO... no ... not today...

OJ... no... but there's plenty of PC monitors around the place.

Doc

I think i'll win for the weirdest one

This is no joke I got a static electricity shock from my girlfriends nose!!! I went to kiss her,we touched noses and bang static shock.

weird and painfull.

Bard

Nothing strange about getting it from another person, bro' ...

at the end of a meeting, I stood up to shake the client's hand. The ****er must have been building up static for days 'cos I was nearly floored with the shock!...

BzzzzZZzzzZZbbbBBBttTtTt!!!

I got a shock from a person too...American quaker called Batch on the US team over at Rapture...he handed me a smoke one morning..and while neither of us were wearing metal on our hands...I got the mother of all electric shocks...you could actually hear the Bzzzt...to which Bunny proclaimed "Eeelectriicityyy"
Also the stairs in the library in UL...steps are made from reinforced glass..metal handrails..so when u walk on the carpet in the library..u go to the stairs and you always get a shock from the handrails

Mills

I used to have a wooly jumper as part of my uniform where I worked, it was amazingly good at building up static, one day hen i was in the shopping centre every time I touched a metal surface like a hand rail I got a small shock, kept happening for about 5 minutes

neuro-praxis

Every flippin' thing gives me a shock.

Every time I'm in Blanchardstown shopping centre or St Stephen's Green centre, my boyfriend can't touch me or I get incredibly painful shocks all over.

The sink in my old house attacked me (unprovoked, too ) many a time. The little gate to get behind the cash desk in Dixons (do not fear - I no longer work there!) used to really get to me every time I went through it - and my mate Billy used to build up as much electricity as he could from it on his hands and then cover my ears - now THAT hurt like hell!

Oh, and shopping trollies in the local Tesco's are great for it too...

My signature is kinda relevant here, huh?

Do your limbs ever get tingly, eh? eh?

LegacyUser

Mine is common but it got me every day. When working in a supermarket i was on the mineral section (carbonated drinks technician) and evertime i unwrapped an 8 pack of 2l 7-up and touched the combi Id get blown accross the aisle, or when my elbow flies back Id get looks from ppl thinking theres something wrong with me

I remember when I was 16... I used to work for Dunnes Stores ( ) ... I'd occasionally have to pack nappies out onto the shelves... those things produced one hell of a shock when i tried to push the metal trolly that I had them loaded onto back into the stockroom... oww

If you ever used to watch TFI Friday on C4, then u might remember the time Will wore these funny wooly shoes and every time he walked across carpet he'd build up static and Chris Evans would make him get a shock off a door so as everyone could laugh at WIIIILLLL(he was basically there to make fun of, his name, family, his clothes, his job etc.)

So if u want to buy some furry shoes and try it out, be my guest.

Gwan, its an experience.

You are all freaks of nature and evolution is attempting to cull you from the non-static-inducing super-race...

Now, that's just an oppinion....

Victor

Ok, avoid plastic-soled shoes on certain (especially) plastic floors coverings (some carpets and vinyls).

If you get shocked by a sink - you should have it checked out to make sure the pipework is earthed - you should ba able to see a yellow and green earth wire connected tot the copper pipework. Otherwise you might get a real shock.

SantaHoe

Hmm, I'm really more of a 220v electric shock person my slef (live wires and what not).

Lump

LOL, speaking of Live wires, I stood on an open junction box before, it was only 220 V, still alive.... electric shock, I laugh in the face of it.
