Static

[cheerful_deviant]

... as in Electricity.

I'm out of dryer sheets and with the cold dry air this load of laundry I just did has enough of a charge built up to power a small town for a few weeks.

I just dropped one of my daughters PJs and it's literally stuck to the laundry room wall.

I'm afraid to touch the doorknob. I might not survuve the jolt. http://addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/wetter/sterben230.gif

Just don't touch the lightswitch.

This reminds me of violet wands.

Oh come on, that's half the fun!

Years ago, my wife and I were doing the laundry one afternoon. We were both naked, as newlyweds are prone to be... I told you it was years ago....

Anyway, this was before dryer sheets and all that.... We had folded about half the laundry and had just finished with a certain set of satin sheets... Ah.. the memories...

Playfully I reached out to flick her nipple... ZAPPPPPPPPPPP A two inch blue white spark arced from my fingertip....

The scream in that small laundry room hurt my ears... the fist up side my head was a knee jerk response or so she said later.....

We never did the laundry in the nude again.... *sigh*

Uh...um...owie.




I always get a Zap every time I press the elevator button in my house. The first fifty times it was quite unnerving, but I've kinda gotten used to it.

If I may intrude note of practicality...

Throw a wet washcloth in the dryer with the staticy clothes and run it for about ten minutes on low heat.

You can discharge any static you've built up in a stream of water without getting shocked. Or you can use a key or other metal object to touch a ground to discharge yourself without feeling the shock.

Once knocked myself cold doing laundry.

Grab bedding out of dryer. They're clinging together. I pull them apart.

(BRIGHT FLASH OF LIGHT)

Then I'm wondering, "Why am I lying on the ground looking up at the ceiling?"

I've been a zealous user of dryer sheets ever since.

It's time to find a new house when you find that you're starting to like it.

I'll remember that evil grin next time I zap you with a touch....freakin' static is a pain everywhere. Gosling's car has a particularly evil streak to it, every time I touch the door......and wearing t-shirts now, I can't even pull my sleeve over my hand before I push it closed.

Ouchhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

You have my sympathies, CD. Static electricity is painful, very painful, and something I and my sons have had to contend with for years and years. Many years ago, before I was married, I even had engineers in the office searching for days for the 'short' that was zapping me every time I turned on my electric typewrite (pre pc days), until we finally realised it was static being generated by the nylon carpet tiles on the floor.

My office is the same way. Cheap berber carpet, dry air and plastic wheels of the desk chair, deadly combination. Zzzzzzt! Damn metal desk.

I'm so evil.

I shuffle around on the carpet, and then touch the kids.

It's too humid here for it to work much, so I take advantage of it when I can.

A few years ago just after we got our potbellied pig, I came home from work on a cold day like today. I took off my coat just as the little pigglet came over for some attention. I reached down to scratch the tip of her nose and... POP!

The poor little thing wouldn't come near me for days.

I do that to the people in the office.

They started it!

There's a reason there's no carpet in this house...
