EVERYTIME I get out of my car... I look like the BIGGEST idiot of all time because the effing thing SHOCKS ME EVERYTIME I GO TO SHUT THE DOOR!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously... I'm getting mad about this haha. I always have to get out, opening the door with my feet, get out using NO HANDS then tap my door realllly fast to get the shock over and done with.. then I shut the door. I've tried using my arm, still shocks me. I've tried using my sleeve... shock goes right through the shirt, I even tried using my legs.... SHOCK STILL GOES THROUGH!!!!!

I'm ranting.. sorry for my rant haha

does this happen to anyone else?

EDIT: I just realized this doesnt make a lot of sense haha I was so aggravated when i wrote it lol

correction - Uh no sh*t it'll still shock my arm.. what makes the skin there diff from the skin on my hand?? same with the legs haha

 

happens to me time to time..lol

 

SSL package FTW. no static with leather

 

it happens to me every single time without fail... after a year and a half of this happening, I got pushed over the edge so much as to make a thread about it haha

all these shocks are messing with my brain. I don't need drugs to fry my brains... i just need my effing car

 

never had it happen once

 

its happened a few times, just stop moving around in your seat so much

 

haha ill stay COMPLETLY still.... imagine what my passenger would be like "uhhh jeff, arnt you ever going to turn the wheel? better yet are you ever gonna touch it? Jeff, why do you have rubber mats over your seat? Jeff why are you putting on giant rubber gloves when your getting out of the car?"

You know... ive tried it all, I fail everytime. lol

 

not much help...but maybe something will work for you from here:

and
did you install a ground cable kit? Maybe that will help?

and

Make Your Own Anti-Static Spray (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A6378744)

Take an empty spray bottle (such as a window cleaner bottle) and pour in a small amount of fabric conditioner. Fill the bottle with water. The mixture should be about 30:1. Spray the car seats (furniture and/or carpets) and allow to dry. Reapply as necessary.

 

get yerself one of those anti-static wrist bands for computer installs btw dont EVER fill your gas w/o touching something metallic; getting yourself shocked, cuz if you dont, your static might burn the gas vapors and burn the living **** outta you.

 

Get some of those things that hang off the back of the car and drag on the ground behind your car to ground it.

 

Yea, the Evo shocks me way more than any other car I've ever driven. Weird...

 

It's electric boogie woogie woogie!

 

happens to me everyday in the winter. onces it gets worm out never happens

 

wow and i thought i was just weird, happens to me all the time

 

It happens to me all the time, but the biggest ones are in my g/'s car. Do this: rather than touch the door with your finger, kind of lean up against it so the door touches your upper arm. It won't shock you nearly as bad.
