This happens to me when I shop at the neighborhood Kroger. Every time I touch anything I get a very strong shock. I don't know why it is just at this particular store that this happens to me

If you are one of the people who gets shocked on your car doors then dont ever open or shut your car door when filling your gas tank. A few months ago at a gas station near here a guy was filling a can in the back of his vehicle and had slide the can across the carpet in the vehichle.....somehow he did this as he started pumping his gas and the static electricity combined with the gas or the fumes caused a huge fire. Thats why they have all those little stickers on the pumps asking that you not leave the pump unattended and to always fill your portable tanks outside your vehicles.

Wow..... I had no idea when I started this thread that so many of you were having the same problem. My husband insists that I won't get a shock if I grab the item quickly instead of reaching for it tentatively. It's so hard to grab it if you think you're going to get zapped. I have even tried wearing all different kinds of shoes to see if that would help but it doesn't seem to matter. I guess my best solution is to let my husband do the shopping since he never gets a shock.
