Static Shock?

I'm tired of this. Every winter and well into spring (even begining of summer), I get shocked on metals all around me. Mail box, car door, house doorknob, the edge of entryways where the paint is peeling off (some of them have a metal liner), the heater in my room......e-v-e-r-y sin-gle metal thing you can think of. Now it's starting to hurt because it happens so often. I need to know what to do to keep that from happening. Wearing gloves doesn't help (yes it goes through them and worst is you can hear it when it happens. It's not a light shock anymore).

Please if you have a way to keep that from happening let me in on it. PLEEEEEEAASE!!!!!!!!!!

touch metal surfaces more frequently to discharge the static before it builds up. Use the back of your hand, and it won't hurt so much, and It wont startle you if you initiate it!

I don't have an answer for you but it happens to me too and I hate it. I've kind of gotten into the habit of touching metal things with my elbow first, but it doesn't always work. Anyway, I'm going to be checking in to see what answers you get. By the way, be careful when pumping gas. Make sure that you always touch metal before pumping, because it really can cause fire.

In the house, you can run a humidifier or vaporizer. It's humidity that drains off the charge. That's why you don't get shocked in the summer.
