Just remember to touch metal before touching any computers. If you have static real bad, I would always carry around a metal key. While it is small enough you won't discharge, you can hold it against metal and discharge without actually feeling the zap.

Does the water thing work?? I seem to have been most charged after i took a freezing swim in the pool yesterday.

Could this have any effects?

Toweling off could charge you.

Move to a more humid climate. You'll have 7/24/365 bad hair, but you won't zap your chips.

You don't have a REAL bad static problem until you get to the point where I'm at!

If I don't get a watch with a thick band that passes between the watch back and my skin, I'll short the watch out within a week!

Harder

I was getting shocked so often the last couple weeks my finger was starting to ache from all the shocks everytime I went to open a door or close my car door. That key thing really works. I started doing that about a week and a half ago just to see if it would discharge the electricty before I touched metal. Ive only been shocked once since I started and thats because I forgot to do it.

Serious answer is buy a humidifier.

They are relatively cheap and they will eliminate almost all static problems in your house.

You airconditioner is probably causing problems. But you don't want to live without that.

I used to work at a casino, and EVERY time we went to open the door we were a little hesitant to open the door because EVERY time we knew we'd be shocked lol
Just gotta suck it up and take it like a man

lol

Oh i remember my scotland football shirt was statically charged (cos we're electric at football...HA!) I never did work out how to discharge it.

I threw it at the ground and stuff and things didnt happen...
