every time i touch the door knob to the server room i get a major discharge of static electricity. hurts like a bitch too. if i use my key to unlock the door, i can always see a huge spark when i insert the key.


any good ways to prevent or remove the charge?

Charge yourself up and touch the server chassis. They will fry, you will get fired, and won't have to deal with the static ever again!

Do they make shoes with conductive rubber inner sole and bottom with a wire in between connecting the two?
