No, literally..... Is anyone constantly electrically shocked by their truck? I swear every time I get out and touch the door I get a nice blue static bolt into my hand. Different shoes, coat, etc... doesnt seem to matter. Ive never been literally shocked so much since I tried on those water proof socks....
Move to Florida!

A bit of trivia: It takes 30,000 volts for static electricity to jump a centimeter or 75,000 volt to jump an inch.

In this foto I pulled a nylon jacket off a fabric chair and put it on, then went turn the light off and got this shock.

So I can get shocked in Florida...?
Absolutely.
"Florida leads as the most lightning-prone state in the country, as it experiences an average 25.3 lightning strikes for every square mile. The state witnesses an average of 1.45 million lightning strikes each year, the highest in the country."

Maybe someone will upgrade their shock to 90,000 volts and sell their 30,000v shock cheap.
