A/C problem?

Static electricity it's building up in you as your feet rub on the carpet or even from the cloth in your seats(if you have cloth seats) When you touch the metal it discharges and shocks you.Same principle as shuffling your feet across a carpet and shocking someone with your finger.It happens to me once in a while but not to that degree.Do you wear like a big jacket or something that is causing an excessive build up of static electricity?

Hmm,now that I think about it if your skin is THAT dry maybe it is rubbing on the cloth more and causing that buildup,try a good moisturizer

Because the car's tire basically insulate it from providing a ground...So when you step out of a vehicle, You are providing that path to ground, hence the shock. Is normal, and nothing much you can do about it. Maybe live in a rainy climate all the time might help that.
