good morning fellas..

'have a question..why do i got electric shocks whenever i touch somebody? and worse, the person i just touched also experienced it from me (and now they are afraid touching me :D )..and most of the times it is painful, and it lingers like 30 minutes or so...

what is the explanation and anyways to prevent this?..

silly, right? but true...:P

I believe MR PAUL comes from Yorkshire (up the top end of England). Sounds like he has a nice strong Yorkshire accent!!!

When a friend of ours (a Scot) first travelled overseas he had to change his accent to be understood, but then his mother - a school Ma'am - told him off! Said his accent now 'sounded mid-Atlantic and positively disgusting!' i.e. sounded half english half american lol

hee hee

For myself, I have been told I don't have an accent at all, so I guess I'm pretty boring :o(

i remember he once called our receptionist... he just asked her how many patients are we expecting for that day...and the receptionist is so surprised...

he said: how many patients today? (but she thought he said "how many patients to die?"

hello junarc! I didn't make yaya because we are all wranglers. hehheheh. You know! But I was thinking about you. Everytime I call Azzi I wanted to tell her to call you, but it seemed that I was very pre-occupied with the WITS of CYman!

Later on, MR.PAUL and AZZI joined us. I was just staring at MR PAUL, not because he is handsome (huwaaaark! just kidding), but I have to look at his mouth while he is talking, because I hardly understand his Baguio accent, errr, British accent..hehehe. If he laughed, I have to laugh too, pretending I understood what he said.

I asked him: Where do you work?

Mr Paul: QA-TERrr.

shav: sorry?

Mr Paul: QA-TERrr!

shav: sorry?

Mr Paul QA-terrrr!

shav: (lech!, help me dear Lord) Ahhh KA-TAR!, I know you work in KATAR!

Ever tried holding the TV or the AC or the fridge or the coffee maker to reduce the electricity bils???

you know, electricity bills in Qatar is going through the roof and maybe you can help your family reduce it a bit. You could also all hold hands together so that more appliances can be used simultaneously (you said the others who touhced you were also 'shocked', right?)

touch a thing that is not a conductor. say paper, pencil. I think you should hold a pencil, before you touch a conductor (metal, doorknob,a person). I just slam the car door via the window..heheh.

Or maybe you drag your feet too much while walking? :-)

what concerns me most is that sometimes im not aware that i am having static at that time, and when somebody approaches me and make a physical contact, they would "whoa!!!!...girl wth!", and it usually happens in the office..we sort of create a scene there, always...

ok, now i know how to prevent it, but how would i know that im pact with static at a given time?..

When an object (or person) has extra electrons, it has a negative charge. Things with opposite charges are always attracted to each other, so positive charges seek negative ones and negative ones seek positives. Whew!

Beware of Conductors!

If you scuff your feet on your living room rug, you pick up extra electrons and have a negative charge. Electrons move more easily through certain materials like metal, which scientists call conductors. When you touch a doorknob (or something else made of metal), which has a positive charge with few electrons, the extra electrons want to jump from you to the knob.

Its called static electricity. Try rubbing your feet with socks on across the carpet without touching anything then try to touch someone or something metal with your finger.

I had the same problem for many years - it was traced back to when I was a child and inserted a battery up my nose. I only resolved the problem when I sneezed it out - sadly it was launched from my nasal passages at a frightening rate and struck a friend I was speaking to at the time directly in the face. Luckily he survived but now has a terrible fear of sneezing.

Its probably due to static build up - wear less polyester. Also check your cars floor mats - if these are made of manmade fabrics as you move it builds up static charge that is released when you touch a metal object and gives a little shock.

That's static electricity.

It's basically the electrons being transferred to your extremities.

Carpets and shoes have a lot to do with it. If it's humid you don't have it as much. It shouldn't be painful for that long afterwards though. So you're a shocker, huh?
