Why do i get shocked out of nowhere sometimes?!
Question: its just not me, its everyone....like for example... when im sitting in the car and goin somewhere i get there and get out of the car and when i shut the door i get a lil shock from the door. why is that?

Static electricity builds up when your clothes rub against the car seat as you're getting in or out. This minute bit of electricity is what shocks you. The same effect could be observed if you rubbed socks against a fuzzy carpet.
could be the rug
I don't know! But I get shocked ALL the time every single day. It's so weird.
FRICTION OR STATIC MAYBE.
possible emotional/ mental unrest
haha sike
Its called static electricity.
your car door is a super conductor of electricity (metal) so the extra electron buildup results in a shock with physical contact
it'll get worse when it is colder/ drier because there is less vapor in the air (H20) to conduct the electricity and stop the shocks
Static.
is called static you idiot
static electricity...let me guess its worse when the air is dry right? same thing happens to me
because while you are getting out you are rubbing your clothes up against the car seat, which is creating static then when you touch the door you complete a circuit so you get shocked.
static in rugs and fabrics and the static running through peoples bodies and when you touch a car door it sends the shock up to you because of the metal, i think.
Do you have a certain type of fabric that you like to wear? Some conduct electricity better than others, and you rub up against the seat getting out, creating electricity
try keeping a 5ft distance from metal or other things that can attract electricity. that's what i do.
Static shock is irritating and can be painful. What is known as static shock is actually high voltage electicity. The drier the air the greater your chances of getting shocked.
Static electricity appears whenever quantities of positive and negative charges in something aren't equal. If two insulators of different materials contact each other then charges of the material transfer between the surfaces.
Cothes made from wool, synthetic materials (nylon, polyester, plastic) put a greater electrical charge on your body then clothes made form cotton or other materials.
Shoe soles create a charge imbalance and work as insulators. To avoid getting shocked don't wear rubber-soled shoes. They create a significant charge imbalance and when you step out of a vehcile the insulating properties of rubber keep the charge from leaking to the ground.
Try spraying a little scotchgard or static gard on the seats, seat backs, floor mats, and carpet. It dampens the surfaces making them slightly conductive so the charges can instantly flow back together.
