Bite your tongue as hard as you can, this will reduce the charge being induced.

Ever learn of grounding? Attach something metallic to you which will touch the ground.

Trail a copper wire on the ground while attaching the metal part of the other end to a leg or arm.

Won't it really hurt if they were made of metal? Laughing

i think carpet increases the conductivity on your body being an insulator?

I can't blame people for constant stupidity...

The joke is if you wear cheap underwear, you get static. Laughing I don't know any truth in it.

Well, basically, when you wash your clothes, you wanna add fabric softener or that bounce sheets in the dryer. It will SURELY relieve static.

If you are so prone to it (the heat in your home is too high izzit?), then before you touch anything metal, use your end of sleeves or gloves. You get what I mean or not? I don't even know if I am writing anything intelligent. Embarassed
