Static! Aaaarrrrrgggghhh!

[lizzylemon]

Well G4 you can count on me to buck the trend. I used to get wicked static at a particular office many years ago. Me and a friend took great delight in zapping each other at very in-opportune moments (on the phone, talking to a client etc) and we would actually charge ourselves (feet scuffed on the carpets) and then lurk around trying to zap each other. Points were scored if you got the other person to yelp!

It was probably a 'had to be there' moment or just totally juvenile senses of humour but such a laugh - I think the fact he was a leading world scientific editor at the time made it even funnier for me.

Ah good times

Have you tried alternating natural and artificial fibre layers?
The static from fleece or similar clothes when removed comes from the friction when they rub agaibst each other. Maybe if there was an incompatible layer in between......

Yep, i have same problem too, especially with my hair at this time of year - flies away everytime a hairbrush goes through. Not found any solutions yet.

Only get it if I wear horrible synthetic fibres, no probs at all with the natural ones

I do too, because I'm wearing hats or scarves on my head to keep warm (non-natural fabric)
