OK, I'm always getting shocks, from the kitchen sink to door handles...well everything really.
How can i stop this? i have been told to wear a copper wire around my ankle and have it trailing on the floor! any suggestions that do not make one look foolish?

What kind of carpet/flooring do you have Paul ?
...what footwear do you wear ?..what are the soles made from ?
Do you live inside an electricity pylon ?
Are you made from a number of human parts (sourced from deceased individuals) and were you zapped into life on a stormy night ?

The strange thing is, i have wood flooring at home and work is either tiles or those carpet tile.
my shoes or trainers are rubber soles, which i would expect to act as an insulator!
but i get shocks at all times of day in all enviroments, even shopping trollies. Anastasia finds it quite amusing when i spark at night or she hears the crack...but it's most annoying.

yes, at first it was just things like the kitchen sink. but as i have got older it seems to be almost everything. I carry a little piece of plastic on a retractable key chain thingey for pressing buttons in lifs...it's that bad

Do ewe have a thick head of hair and wear polyester jumpers ?
-
I have the same problem but don't know why, My shoes seem to not be the factor but I was told that sometimes I do not pick my feet up properly when walking and that the drag on the ground causes the friction and then the static naturely but I don't know if this is true or just someone telling me what they thought, purely uneducated guess on their part!
LOL Neily you beat me! No thick head of hair here, no polester jumpers I hate polester! I know you are talking to paul so now I will pull my nose back out!! LOL
-
i have been bald for years, i had that young receeding thing going on so it's noe all shaved off. hence my experiments with different shaving products.
not too sure about the clothes, cotton, nylon, wool etc...i know the last two are bad but even getting out of the bath i can get a shock!

"Crucify"
Every finger in the room
is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what God needs
One more victim
[Chorus:]
Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day
And my heart is sick of being in chains
Got a kick for a dog
Beggin' for Love
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says will you ever learn
You're just an empty cage girl
If you kill the bird
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start
my own religion
Please be
Save me
I cry
[Chorus:]
Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day
And my heart is sick of being in chains
