re: How do you not get shocked by door.

First touch the doorknob with your dead wrinkled peen and that would release the static. You are good after that.

I touch it first with a car key and watch the spark jump.

This works

Touch the doorknob to the back of your hand first. Less nerve endings. Won't be as displeasing as a fingertip shock.

This is what I do.

i heard rubbing you feet on the carpet helps.

or the side of your car, if this too is a problem...

If there is a metal painted door frame around the door, swipe your index finger and middle fingers over it for about 2 to 3 inches. It will discharge the static electricity.

I used to have a pair of shoes that would build it up like crazy on the carpeted floors in our main office building and I was constantly getting shocked. Once I started swiping my fingers on the door frames, I quit getting shocked every time when it get cold.

The same applies for getting in and out of your vehicle. Just rest your hand on the door or part of the door jamb when getting in and out and it will prevent you from getting shocked.

Stop wearing corduroy pants.
