static electricity

[pontifex]

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!

Get that server room properly grounded with a grounding mesh stat.

Maybe you have special powers like Raiden?

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

He should use his new power for good, not evil.

To keep it from shocking the bejezzus out of you, hold your key and touch it to the door knob.
