Default Re: Static Electricity

Areinitz,

Are you talking about turning off a light switch? If so, are you sure it isn't screwed up and you were actually getting shocked by AC? If it lasted more than an instant, it wasn't static. I've had a light switch shock me, and I've had one kind of burn up/explode. They do wear out sometimes. And lots of us unfortunately have houses or apartments that were wired up by idiots.
