Static shocks
Anyone got any tips for avoiding static shocks. I get them at the supermarket, in the car, at home and sometimes when i shake hands with other people.
It has become a major issue, as it tends to hurt more everytime.

Re: Static shocks
I tend to find that if I hold on to the metal of the car before I put my foot on the ground, I will not get a shock.
