My car is going to kill me. Everytime I get out of it lately, I'm scared to close the door. The weather has been cold, high in the low 30's, for the past few days. This makes my car even more painfull to deal with.
Everytime I get out of the car and shut the door, I get a static shock. This is not a, take off your sweater and your hair stands on end, type of static. I'm talking about, knock you to the ground, static. When I got to work today, I turned to slam the car door, and a tear came to my eye. Oh, the pain I am about to feel. It probably wouldn't be so bad, if it was a surprise shock once in a great while. Because then you wouldn't expect it, and it's over before you know it. When you expect it, you sit and worry about it.
I even think of strategy around it, while I'm driving to work. Picture that for a second, I'm trying to outsmart static electricty. There must be something more important to be thinking about! One thing that seems to help, is to hold the top of the car with my left hand, before I step out of the car. I will keep that hand in contact with the metal roof until I'm pushing the door closed with the other hand. So far, this has helped. I don't always remember to do that, until I'm standing outside of the car. . .wiping a tear from my eye.
