static zaps and clothing mishaps

[newmistakes]

I’m just a conduit for static. I seem to accumulate it everywhere I go. And no, I’m not dragging my feet across the floor like some kind of tragic Quasimodo figure (although I am into humps and enjoy ringing bells). Almost every time I sit down at my home computer and reach out to turn it on I get a zap. Then the cursor on my computer will often go

I suffer from the zing of static too, strangely it comes and goes so after spending some months without it it return with a vengeance last week

Gah I'm sorry to read you've gone static again! I hope it passes quickly. I seem to be mostly static at home, so more place centric zaps than anything else.

Maybe you ought to try investing in some dryer sheets or an anti-static spray.

I get shocked more than the average person it seems, but I don't have any mortifying stories about it. Touching my car door usually brings to mind the scene from The Office when he has to open the door to work every morning, knowing he's about to get zapped. The worst zap I ever got was when I was working in retail, and somehow one time I got zapped from a metal clothing rack, right in the side of my skull. It was the single most painful zap I've ever experienced, and I could feel the zap spot for a while afterwards.

So did you ever see the handsome guy again?

I have enough trouble remembering to buy bread and laundry detergent at the supermarket - dryer sheets or anti-static spray may be beyond me. I will give it a go though! Thanks for the suggestion :)

Wow, I've never had a skull zap!! That sounds sooo bad. You're probably really nervous around clothing racks after an experience like that. It must make clothes shopping rather anxiety-inducing!

Yep, for a number of years, in fact. Of course, I could never be sure whether he was into me for me or just because he had such a good story to tell about me :P

So he's touched your breasts and got your knickers in his pocket within 5 seconds... some guy....

within 5 seconds... some guy... I agree

[adman]

This guy jus moved up the 'SCORE' scale to the top and past it in under 5 seconds..
Come on now.. in anybodys book that's an all out WIN!

Even Jen has to agree with these observations

RE: within 5 seconds... some guy... I agree

[newmistakes]

I do NOT have to agree with those observations - I reserve the right to disagree with you on general principle, Dave :)

Haha embarrassingly enough, yeah :) He was a smooth operator!

He keeps my underpants in his pocket all evening long.

[adman]

Needless to say dear storyteller yer fans here wanna know how and when he gave yer knickers back.. if ever?

I've heard of loo paper stuck to pants / skirts on their rear ends or to the shoes of folks after returning from the loo.. BUTT.. I gotta say Sweets yer the FIRST and likely ONLY person in the world that can travel from home to a 'first impressions' hawt date and not at least take one last minute check in the several mirrors you passed along the way.

RE: He keeps my underpants in his pocket all evening long.

[newmistakes]

I think you are the only one who wants to know that :P He threatened to keep them, but he did the gentlemanly thing and gave them back at the end of the evening.

I highly doubt I'm the only one something like this has happened to! Other people would have had embarrassing things stuck to them! I'd done the last minute check before I'd grabbed the top out of the dryer, so I assumed I was good to go. Also, I'm not enamoured of mirrors.

I must really be rocking it. I may even have put a little extra strut in my stride

[adman]

On a nudder note..

If I were the lucky guy havin my first date with you and you approached me wearing yer knickers on yer boobs, I'd instantly think this girl is sendin a STRONG decisive message that tonight's dessert (Sweet Missy Jen) is gonna be delicious = YUM

RE: I must really be rocking it. I may even have put a little extra strut in my stride

[newmistakes]

Haha! I have, of course, read stories where the woman takes off her panties at restaurants and hands them to her date and I can see how that could be sexy. BUT accidentally wearing your panties on your top... nah, I don't see the sexy in that so much. You might be jumping the gun there to imagine it means a delicious desert :P
