Random Bad #7 - Getting Shocked by Static Electricity

There are a lot of things that I hate about winter. These include walking in slush, below-freezing temperatures, and blistering winds. Another thing that winter does is make the air incredibly dry. How does that affect you? In the summer, there's humid air and the water vapor helps remove the charge from your body. In the Winter, however, the only thing that will remove the charge is motherf***in doorknobs.

The most annoying part of getting shocked is the fact that it comes unexpectedly and startles you just enough to be unpleasant. At the same time, straight out of Office Space, shocks can happen in the same place every time. For me, there's a specific door handle at work that always gives me the shock. I always hope I don't get shocked, but it always happens.

Luckily, shocks are good for one thing. Once the shocks decrease in frequency, then you know summer is just around the corner...
