Zap! Getting Shocked Exiting Car!

Chrsitchurch...

No urban legend, boomer. I saw a very serious safety bulletin on this a couple of years ago. Most commonly, it happens (not in Oregon of course) when you start the automatic pump and slide back into the car. It happens more commonly with women, but I don't remember why.

Thank you, roger!

That kind of stuff is one of the reasons they don't let us pump our own gas. Not that I'm complaining. When it's cold and wet I love to have someone do that stuff for me.

I remember paying attention to the story because I'm a real staticy girl. I'm still in the habit of "grounding" myself before using certain cameras even though I've long since passed using those type of cameras.

I wonder why it is more common with women. Long hair? Wear more wool? Wiggle around more?

I read a few blocks back where someone in New Zealand has something attatched to his car to prevent it. I wonder if they have that in the states,what it may be called and where the heck I can get it!
