If you carry a pocket knife, pull that out, then use that to touch the item first. The shock will discharge through the knife and you won't feel it.
I do that when I feel all charged up and know I'm going to get shocked bad touching something. It's a lot of fun when you give your wife or gf a kiss and BOOOM. |

LOL I do the same thing with my car keys or I'll touch the offending item with the back of my hand. For some reason I build static electricity like nobody's business. My dogs hate it.

Just a tip for people that get static built up in their clothes. Take the article of clothing off and beat it up against a non-conductive wall hard a few times. Sheet rock works really well. Goodbye static.
They also make anti-static spray that you can use. Or if you're in a pinch, wipe down with a dryer sheet. You can also use a humidifier in your apartment and that will take care of it too. |
| I have a pair of house shoes that cause me to build up a good amount. As I walk through the house I touch the screws on all the light switches I pass. I also use the corners of walls, metal corner bead. If I touch something every couple feet I discharge myself before a large painful amount builds up. |

It's caused by friction, the kind that furious masturbation or trying to scrub off a tattoo you got that says "Gay and Loving It!" on your shoulder. Been there, done that. |

You ain't properly grounded.
Have a licensed electrician bring you up to code. Or buy esd shoes like this. They groun you out through the soles at all times.

Too much masturbation. Only way to fix it is more masturbation. You must masturbate all the electricity away. |
