What is this phenomenon ?

[fishinwrench]

Is anyone else going through this?  

All day long, everything I touch is shocking me.   The Sink, the fridge, the front screen door, the truck, the gas pump, my wife, my fly tying vise, my dog, my daughter tossed me a golf ball and WHAP! a wicked spark jumped off of it as I reached out to catch it.   And then......are you ready for this?   A plastic Rubbermaid tote !!!  🤔  

How the hell can a spark of fire jump off a friggin plastic tote ?   

What in the Sam Hell is going on in the universe today ?  

Sugarbritches said she got zapped off the clothes dryer, which is understandable, but she hasn't been nearly as electrically charged as I have been today.    I've seen days where certain things are loaded with static electricity, but this is off the charts.

                        Happens here too and it is tied to low humidity.

Contrails causes it.  There is a lot of military aircraft flying over the midwest these days.

All that green energy going to waste.  Try carrying a battery around and see if you can charge it.

You need to get a humidifier ASAP. Mine put three gallons of water out daily. Your skin will feel much better and your furniture and cabinets will thank you. It is hard to believe how much wood shrinks when dried.

Yep.  We get gaps in our wood floor and we have a humidifier.  I don’t know how folks live without them.

More than normal right??😀

I actually touch the toilet with my hand to discharge myself before I pee.   If I were to take a lightning strike to the weiner I'd probably pass out cold.  

Was barefoot this morning and never got tazed, but as soon as I put my shoes on the fireballs started coming at me.  

The weird thing is that these aren't just little "ticks".   It's almost as bad as grabbing a outboard kill circuit wire with greasy hands.   I should try to measure it with my DVA meter.

No way a conductor that small would do any damage...😂
