Hi - need abit of advice folks, getin really bad electric shocks..any cures?

i know this is going to sound really silly but i have been giving off bad electric shocks, i always get shocks when touching my filing cabinet in work, evrytime i open or close a car door, i have blew a memory stick up and 7 out of 10 times when turning my computer on in work it blows the connection somehow.. i have just got another electric shock this time there was a bright blue spark which looked similar to a flame. has this every happened to anyone? and is there something i can do to stop it?Hi - need abit of advice folks, getin really bad electric shocks..any cures?
This happens to me if I wear certain shoes whilst driving! try changing shoes (different soles) as this can build up static electricity then as soon as you touch a conductor i.e your metal filling cabinet bam you get a shock!Hi - need abit of advice folks, getin really bad electric shocks..any cures?
Wear less synthetic clothing...


It is a build up of static. I used to shuffle my feet on cheap carpets so i could zapp peeps with a bolt of electricity. Check your shoes too ;o)


Oh, for a really cool effect, wear a wooly jumperover a polyester shirt all day then take it off in the dark ;o) Freaky stuff.... Enjoy
do you wear a lot of man made fabrics??
If it's only happening at work, I would ask someone in maintenance to check for a short somewhere. That could potentially be dangerous. (Electrocution or fire hazard)





If it happens everywhere you go, then it's bad static electricity. Buy a can of anti-static.
