Lil electric shocks
« on: March 23, 2013, 09:09:22 PM »
I think everyone sometimes did expirience lil electric shocks while touching some metal objects.
Since about 2 months it happends to me atleast once a day, which is kinda weird for me because never before it happened so often.
Anyone did have same feelings in last times :P ? 2 of my friends also said that it happends to em more often than before.
I have no idea what could be the reason of it :P The Wave work like that ? haha :D

electrostatic shocks are very common. Have you checked humidity measurement for instance? It affects the occurrence of such phenomena.

i've been noticing the very same thing for some time now and thought of mentioning it here as well. sure, those tiny electric shocks are a common thing but for a month or two they've been happening to me significantly more often, seemingly regardless of air humidity (the weather has been  dull-wet for most of the time).

recently i got my hand near the kitchen sink drain at my workplace and experienced the strongest discharge since i remember. it felt as if the sink was electrically alive (if that's the right word).

others around me do notice it as well. people seem to collect increased amount of the charge and this leads to more frequent and more "violent" shocks.
