I counted last night. In 2 hours I was shocked by my metal shelf twice, lightswitches twice, and I shocked my dog 3 times. I decided it may be something about my condo, because at work I dont have the problem so much and my dog has crazy static hair sometimes too.
If you have this problem primarily at home, go buy yourself a humidifier. When I'm not at home, I shock everything, but at home it tends to decrease quite a bit which I think is mostly due to the fact that we have a whole house humidifier, but one in the living room and maybe the bedroom of a condo would probably help alot
I, too, touch Ollies door through my sleeve and only with the back of my hand / arm to acertain stray voltage. And I touch everything in the house with the back of my hand first, to minimize shocking.
The other day I turned on the lightswitch and could see the spark from my finger to the switch... Ow!

Hate to burst your bubble Clover, but being something of a streetlight maintenance expert, I expect they are high pressure sodium discharge lights. End of service life for those bulbs is manifested in the light cycling on and off. They go on until they heat up and the voltage across the lamp drops too much and then they go off until the lamp cools down again. I had one circuit of about 30 lites last week that had at least 15 cycling. Kind of like Christmas.
Nope....it happens too regularly for that to be the case! I have limited my after-dark motorings, to save the street lighting budget!

I have a couple of cast iron pots that I keep full of water, behind the woodstove. No shocks here

The humble maintenance worker must bow to the Reiki Master, but the Reiki Master must promise to give advance warning to my boss when traveling in my area.
