Anyone Else Have an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Problem in the Winter?
a_lunatic:
I wear only cotton clothing as with any synthetic clothing rubbing against another synthetic material it makes me into a "Electro-man"

Same here - 100% cotton. Though that has always been because poly's were always so hot in the past. nylon, polyester, etc. - anyone remember when those first came out? Mostly for the "wrinkle-free" properties? You'd sweat just looking at them!

wow! this is just crazy. i've never experienced winter so i didn't know about this side-effect. but i discharge static all the time even though i'm in a humid area and my fingertips get extremely ticklish at times..

I have that too and know of others with the same problem - have read [and experienced myself] that it's worse autumn (and spring i think) for "continental" climate at any rate and is to do with weather but definitely todo with person too.
I try flicking/tipping the car with my fingertips before I put key in cause sometimes I get a shock so bad I have a very sore finger for the rest of the day..
I'm sure it's entertaining for any passersby..
not as good/bad as J-Mac though :)
