All my life Ive been super electrostaticy but at some points Ive been INSANELY electrostaticy!!! The worst Ive been is back when I was 14 I had to wear gloves for most of the year because no matter what if I touched anything that could conduct a current Id get painfully shocked. It was hilarious because I had so much trouble sleeping at night since every time I tossed and turned in my bed I would shoot fiery sparks from my blankets! Im surprised I didnt light the house on fire... And I could even change the channel on my tv just by flicking my hand!!!

Luckily that intense severity of shocks went away but Ive always had periods every year when I get the sudden urge to run down to the nearest clothing store for a new pair of gloves. And no time have I considered that more seriously than these past few weeks.

Let me explain what my routine of just getting out of the car has devolved into recently:

Step 1) Turn off the car and open the door. Normal so far.
Step 2) Tap the outside of the rear passenger drivers side door with the knuckles on my left hand and experience a painful shock. I use the knuckles because they can take pain a little better than my fingertips, obviously.
Step 3) Step outside of the car. Normally this is not a problem, but if there is not enough space between the car next to me and mines to open the door wide then my ankle will usually brush the sill of the car door and I will experience my second painful shock. Being that its shocking the Achilles heel on some occasions this shock is so painful that I literally cant stop myself from falling to the ground because of it, where I will then naturally catch the door with my open hand and more than likely experience additional shocks.
Step 4) Close the door with the knuckles of my right hand for the same reason as in Step 2 and experience another painful shock.

Thats just getting out of the goddamn car! Every goddamn time! My phone also shocks me when its plugged in and I go to unplug the cable, and just recently I even got shocked when I just tapped on the bloody screen!!!

And Im starting to feel little shocks in my bed again... Though no sparks yet...
