I used to get shocked everytime i got out of my car....untill i got new tires. Its funny the elements required for static to be created. I worked in a lab once were we had to be almost 100% ESD free. we wore special shmocks shoe/wrist straps and the place even had a specail floor that costs somewere around a grand a foot.

I'm not sure i've noticed an increase but it is true that synthetics in clothing cause more. It's also dependent on the relative humidity and temp. as well.

In my own defense, I was extremely bored and walking around a big outdoor mall when I decided it was the last option for the evening. I didn't totally lose it until she whipped out the E6B and recomputed the new "magnetic" heading. After that I just had to stay and see how deep in BS they could dig themselves. No pun intended.
