I keep getting electric shocks! I figure that I’ve either developed the worlds worst superpower (what’s the point of having a power that only hurts you?) or it could be summat to do with the seat material of this new Actros. I’ve given up my smart EE lookalike sportswear so it can’t be that! Every bloody time I climb out I get a belt through a finger tip or through the top of my head from the doorframe. Obviously this provides lots of amusement to witnesses but is starting to wear a bit thin with me.
Obviously I’m awaiting the ■■■■ taking replies but has anyone else had this, and if so how the hell do you stop it? I await your sympathetic replies.
Has some bright spark mentioned static? Seems weird that you get the belt when you move out of seat? Does the same happen when you are seated and driving?
My old garage foreman back in the 60’s could point his finger at a cars door handle and we could see the electricity jumping across the gap, quite a party trick really!

Nice chick in the video too-I would like to meter.
Seriously■■?
Anyhoo, I would suggest that the combination of polyester trousers, your fat arse and an uncomfortable Actros seat are the route cause of your “shocking” experience!
Try to harness the energy you’re creating then sell it on the open market. You could make a fortune!!

Just when I get out. I’m figuring static just like if you rub a balloon against your hair and it’ll stick to a wall (I really should get out more ). It’s not a new thing with me tbh, i get belts off most cars when I get out of them and I can kill a wristwatch within a week, so I tend to shut car doors using just the glass and I always sneak up behind the GF and touch her ear but the result is a big spark, a crack and she doesn’t feel it but it hurts me like hell.
I may try one of them earthing strips from Halfrauds.
