Anybody else tired of getting shocked? If I so much as look at metal the wrong way, I get shocked. I’ve gotten to the point that I fear touching anything that even looks metallic.

I even get shocked by water. The second I put my hands under the faucet, I get shocked. You don’t necessarily notice this effect of static electricity because the continued friction of the water drowns out (so to speak) the sensation. But I feel it.

Argh.
