I mean when weather is dry, and I am about to enter a store, I can see it coming! that huge electrical charge that was being built inside my body! I become 100% sure I will be shocked as soon as I touches that metal handle, so I approach the handle with my hands, and quickly back up my hand again before it touches! then try to catch the handle again then back it up again! like 3 times back and forth in one second till I have the courage to touch it and get my lovely shock! and open the door! Am I the only one who do this? are you guys touches it with confidence even if you get shocked? are you brave enough to not care about that 2000 volt charge? I know it is not fetal thing, and I read all things about electrostatic and how to avoid it and all that bla bla bla.. but in reality, some days, you cant escape your fate!!
Yes you are the only one.
I have a simple solution for you (so that you no longer have to approach doors in a funny way) I hate getting shocked just as you do. Hold a metallic object in your hand. As you approach the door, touch the metal object to the door handle first. The spark will jump between the metal that you are holding and the door handle. You will not feel the spark at all because of the large surface area between your hand and the metal object. Just about any metal object will do, even a paperclip. Try it! You will no longer have to walk around wondering if you are the only one who does funny things when touching doors.
I wind up getting a little gun-shy around door handles in the winter time too. I'm not as bad as that, though. Just try to touch the handle with the back of your wrist first. It will get rid of the charge that you've built up, and you don't have a high density of pain receptors there compared to your fingertips, so it won't hurt nearly as much.
