Fur rubbed on plastic or glass is a classic way to make a static shock.  By wearing those gloves and turning the steering wheel, you are building up a good bit of electricity.  Don't drive with those gloves on.

no idea sorry but how about turn it off wait 15 secs and swear at it thats the advice most specialists give

Leaving them turned off still won't help, because a lightning strike could still fry them. \n\nYou need them well grounded and in a Faraday cage if you want to avoid ALL pulses, including from lightning strikes.

When you go to touch something metallic (or the kids, LOL), hold a key or some other metallic object in your hand, and touch the car door, fridge, whatever, with the key instead of your hand.  You'll still feel a shock, but it's only about half as bad, (I guess) because you're allowing the current to flow through a larger area of your hand, rather than the little "lightning bolt" attacking one little spot on your hand.  I discovered that by accident many years ago; probably as I went to unlock my car door.\n\nAlso, you can reduce the static electricity generation by using a humidifier in the dry months.

A brief explanation of what's going on - in the dry weather, you're building up static electricity on your body as you walk around. When you touch a metal object (like a doorknob) that has very little electric charge, the charge is transferred to the other object.\n\nSo, the short answer is that to prevent the annoying shocks, you need to avoid building up electricity, or keep discharging it to objects. Touching metal frequently will help. Also, you can avoid some of the annoying effects by touching things with something other than your fingertips first - for example, the back of your hand. Your fingertips are very sensitive, and it may not be as unpleasant to get small shocks on other parts of your body.

Current burns, voltage jerks the muscles.  Too much current, you're toast.  Too much voltage, your heart stops.\n\nStatic built up from rubbing your socks on the carpet probably won't kill you.\n\nSeveral years back, in the wintertime, there were some news reports of people whose car blew up at the gas pumps.  Supposedly it was due to static electricity.\n\nIt's rare to get "shocked" outside when getting in or out of one's car or touching it or whatever but it does happen.  I remember a couple times in the past 5 years when it happened to me. A tiny percentage of times I have done that but way more than zero.\n\nSo, I guess the combination of a spark and being by your open gas tank could kills you, indirectly.\n\nTaking an extreme counter-example, there was a girl struck by lightening at the WHFS alternative rock festival in DC a few years ago. Apparently it knocked her a few feet from where she was standing.  But, it didn't kill her.  She was lucky.\n\nStatic charges build up more easily in wintertime. The air is dryer.  Something about the air molecules is different when there is less moisture.  I forget what, but you have probably noticed more "static" shocks in winter than any other time of year, unless you live in a really cold, dry place.\n\nA three inch spark seems pretty far.\n\nIn high school physics class, they said that each inch that a spark travelled off a sphere through the air indicated 10,000 volts.  I think it was 10,000.  Well, you're not a sphere and you are probably not touching one but that still seems like a lot.\n\nI used to get shocks of half or three quarters of an inch  when touching the corners of walls at the house I grew up in all the time.  That was really nothing.  I barely felt it.  It was just a surprise to feel it, and also to see the spark leap between the wall and your finger.\n\nModern buildings have grounding wires on all the outlets and stuff like that, to prevent electrical problems.  Not sure what really old buildings are like.\n\nIf you are wearing a sweater or wool clothing, that could increase the amount of static charge you build up.  There are all kinds of things that could do it.\n\nIf it happens on warm, humid days when you are not wearing any wool or sweaters, that would really be strange.  If not, maybe it is what you are wearing or the atmosphere that is mostly responsible.\n\nAlso, carpet is a big factor.\n\nFeeling it hours later, that's freaky. That never happened to me.

As you are building a computer, ESD sensitive parts can get damaged.  You can buy an ESD wrist strap and hook it to the AC outlets center screw (between the two plugs).  This will let the static electricity discharge through ground and not hurt your components.

get a damp paper towel and run it across the tip a couple of times, that will at least help a lot

EASY, \n\n1 turn the computer off.\n\n2. open the case.\n\n3, touch the bare metal to discharge any static that you may have.\n\n4. unplug the powercord from the back of the computer.\n\n5. take the screw out of your old sound card and remove card. save screw.\n\n6. Put New card into slot and replace screw.\n\n7. Replace cover, and plug in.\n\n8. load cd that came with your sound card, and install drivers.\n\nPrice for a 5.1 sound card is around 15.00 to 25.00 depending on Brand and place you purchase.  I would not pay more than 50.00 in a retail store.

Use a humidifier indoors and apply moisturizer on your skin. Wear shoes made of wooden soles and avoid wearing synthetic material. More tips at the websites below:\nhttp://www.school-for-champions.com/science/staticcont.htm

PLEASE TRY A SAFER METHOD!!

I call it proper punishment.\nIf you touch something and get grounded, you probably shouldn't have touched it. Didn't momma teach you not to touch things that don't belong to you?\n\nYou're discharging a static electricity charge from your body to ground. \nAs you walk around your shoes build a static charge on your skin. If the humidity is low your body doesn't discharge the static as readily as it would if it were more humid.\nWhen you touch something metal your body is discharging the energy back to earth.

Take a (Warm) bath with Epsom salts\nDON'T USE A SOLDERING GUN!!!\nUSE Preparation H instead.\n\nGO TO The hospitals ER room or a MEDICAL CLINIC!!!

You can get anti static cleaning wipes from places like radio shack, walmat, walgreens and many more places. The dirty marks left behind is just dirt that you didn't get the first time. You can use NON Ammonia windex, just make sure it is NON ammoniated. Ammonia is bad for the plastic. Always spay it on the clean towel, never the monitor, or LCD. If you feel uncomfortable with NON ammonia windex then go for either a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water or the anti static wipes. Below is a cut and paste from a Tech Republic download on repairing and maintaining Laptops.\n\nStandard Cleaners\nFor the most basic function—cleaning exterior LCD screens, keyboards, and cases—various chemicals\nare available. I normally recommend one of the following:\n■ 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water\n■ Nonammoniated glass cleaner\n■ Pure water (hot water works best)\nOther solutions such as antistatic LCD cleaning cloths and Kimwipes are also acceptable alternatives.\nCaution\nIsopropyl alcohol is a flammable liquid. Do not use alcohol cleaner near an exposed flame or when the system is on.\nThe solutions should generally be in liquid form, not a spray. Sprays can be wasteful, and you should\nnever spray the solution directly on the system anyway. Instead, lightly moisten a soft lint-free cloth,\nwhich is then used to wipe down the parts to be cleaned.\n\nCleaning the LCD and Case\nTo clean the exterior of your laptop system, use the following procedure:\nLightly moisten a soft lint-free cloth with either a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, nonammoniated\nglass cleaner, or pure water (hot water works best). Never spray liquid cleaner directly on\nthe system, especially the display or keyboard.\nGently wipe the LCD panel with the moistened cloth and then follow with a dry cloth. Be sure the\ncloth is not wet enough to drip and that the LCD is completely dry when you’re finished. Antistatic\nChapter 3\n88 Chapter 3 System Maintenance and Assembly\nLCD-cleaning cloths and Kimwipes are also acceptable alternatives. Do not use standard paper towels,\nwhich can scratch the LCD, or window cleaners with ammonia, which can damage or stain the LCD.\nNote\nKimwipes are disposable 8.5- by 4.5-inch wipes, basically heavy-duty lint-free paper towels. They are a trademarked\nbrand of Kimberly-Clark Corp., along with Kleenex, and are very popular in industrial, laboratory, and photographic use.\n\nI use the a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, I use distilled water in the mixture (no minerals in the water means no mineral deposits on the screen).\n\nI hope this helps, Good Luck.

My sister and I were discussing this last night. She said a good way is to put a tape recorder in a room. Press record and leave it alone for several hours. Then replay it, listening to the static. That is the only way you would hear them. \n\nBeyond that, it depends on how intuned you are to the paranormal. I am very intuned and I get chills down my spine in the presence of anything paranormal. I have only once experienced smell involved.

If you follow the instructions about how to unpack a package with anti-static instructions there is no risk, otherwise you might get an electric shock; hope not across the heart; it could be fatal even with a fraction of one amp.
