Static

>peeps timidly round door, gasps in awe at all shiny gadgets and pretty coloured liquid in glass bottles, tiptoes over to cupboard marked hazardous materials, ooeer you made me jump sorry just looking<

Seriously though, my job involves working on a plastic moulding machine and I get loads of static shocks everyday, on a good day about 30 and on a bad day probably over 100, can this harm me and also no one else seems to get as many as i do could there be a reason for this?  Thanks all  Right im going now >skips back to chatterbank<

Check your pockets pixi and dont be bringing any small vibrating machines to work.  By that I mean your electric toothbrush of course.

It could have something to do with the clothing your wearing, when i wear my coat with fake fur cuffs i get tons of static shocks, every dam escolator (sp), ever bit of metal, so anoying.

I dont think they can harm you but im not 100% sure on that one.

hi kt84, thanks for that but we all wear the same clothing, crappy uniform, and our safety boots are antistatic i think.  It dont half hurt though doesnt it?

[KT84]

Pixi yea they really do hurt, maybe its just somthing to do with our make up and some of us are just more prone to them than others.

i actually read something recently about earthing yourself touch a metel key against the thing thats shocking you.

Or maybe its your undies? ;)
