tennissmithy Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 A stupid question I know but does anyone else suffer from electric shocks. Since my SAH (well never noticed them before) I give electric shocks to whatever I touch, the cat, tv, stereo anything and lately as well if I touch/ kiss Simon I give him one too. They seem to be getting worse too, there was a sort of spark (which scared us both and made us jump I know people say about their electric lovelife but this is mad! Am I the only nutter!? Laura Quote
Janet Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Hi Laura Can't say I've noticed an increase in my stactic levels since SAH but I have always been prone to quite a lot of excessive static I used to own a mini and as much as I loved my car I always got shocked when opening and closing the doors.

Shanti Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Hi Laura Like Janet, I used to suffer a lot from static and got shocks off all sorts of things - including Paul! But weirdly since the SAH and the coiling, I can't recall having any. Hugs Lesley xxx Quote
Sasbo Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Hi Yes, now you come to mention, I do seem to be more 'staticcy' than before...hmm, does that make us electrifying???? Sarah x Quote
Karen Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 I was like it before the SAH ...... so can't blame it on the coils or anything else.. Where I used to work, they had nylon cord carpet and I was forever getting shocks off the photocopier, metal door frames, metal sink, door handles ...... as well as my car when I left work ..... it probably depends on what you're wearing too...

tennissmithy Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 It's just me and you then Sarah, that have noticed it since SAH I rarely got a shock before! At least I don't fell totally mad now Laura xx Quote
Skippy Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Hey there Nope, you're not on your own. I've definitely noticed that I'm more static that I was before - especially when closing the car door or walking around the supermarket with a trolley - annoying and sometimes painful. Cheers Sami xxx Quote
bogbrush Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 I do sometimes get shocks when touching the sink or taps, but I had a pair of slippers once that would produce a quite painful visible spark if I touched anyone. It only happened if I was standing on the laminate floor in our dining room/kitchen. It was great for winding up the kids ... they would run a mile if I came near them I can't say that it's any worse since SAH. Regards Keith Quote
tennissmithy Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 Thanks Keith and Sami, yeah I must say it was quite frightening when I saw the spark before my eyes and yeah I agree Sami they are quite painful. At least I know now I am not going totally mad Laura xx Quote
