It didn't hurt, but it was not a pleasant feeling.

You have an electrifying personality!

Nah... he was just charged up to buy something.
Or I could say what is he complaining about? It sounds like he had an
electrifying experience in that store.

Seriously, he might thing of different shoes as another poster said
(my preference) or wear gloves.

I used to get a static shock when I unlocked an office door. A bright
blue spark about 1/2" long and as thick as a pencil lead. I hated it
every morning. I started taking my shoes off before I opened the door
to avoid it. Called the electrician (at work) and bitched. He
suggested I put a thumb tack in the sole of my shoe (never did, I
though he was jossin' me). He told me later they found a wire in the
conduit with a damaged shield. I don't what was going on. My sister
could not wear a watch, she said it would always die from her
electrifying personality.

I sometimes get static shocks when I exit my truck. I guess energy is
built up and discharges when I touch the metal door. Who knows.


I think years ago I heard some people have more electr. charges than
others (seriously). I haven't heard much on this subject since.
