h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Can't you kind of jump into mid air just at the moment you throw the switch? Or would you end up with little lightning sparks between your feet and the carpets? might be cool to try though

as you walk around the house run the back of your hand along the walls and such, that should discharge you

So it's you who keeps leaving mucky finger marks on the walls?

read it ALL lil

Oh, noodles


So it wasn't you then?

I know who you could* blame for it...

Recently, I have been getting shocks off just one door at the police station that I visit at work every day. This is new, and I don't THINK that anything has changed round there. I sometimes wait for someone else to walk along the corridor and then slip through the door after them.

It has a carpet one side and a hard floor the other. I only get a shock on the carpet side.

If anybody ever sees me working up to opening the door and getting a shock I will be carted off by my colleagues.

We used to have a car like this - I would hover for ages trying to make everyone else shut the doors before it was me. Pushing it to, by the glass made some difference - is there a panel on the door in question Mr PP?





Also - this Entry is really good on the subject: A6378744

I get them all the time in Tesco in Stockport, in the clothing section. No one else seems at all bothered by them. Most bizarre.

The door is big, heavy and all metal.

Aaaaaargh!
