It happends to me from time to time, man but when it happends i look like a crack head geting out of the car. Picture this , i get out and try to tap on the door with my finger like 10 times when i close it,but miss the first 9 times. It looks like i lost my mind,and i always chuckle when i think someone would see me doing that. I hate getting shocked.

Generally speaking, the best way to remedy is the following: put on slippers or socks. Open the door to your house. Before leaving your house, slide your feet across the carpet (like a moonwalk) for two minutes, without touching ANYthing. Then go out of the door (that you already opened), to your car, and touch it. This should reverse the charge between you and your car for at least a week.

Forgot to say that what works best for me is grounding yourself to any metal object on the body of your car while you're still sitting, and throughout the entire time that it takes you to get OFF of your seat.
If you work in an office and have that same problem with metal handles either hit them with your knuckle (you'll barely feel anything) or tap them with a metal key before touching them. You don't want to look like a puss' in front of the office bunnies while doing this though so keep a single metal key in your pocket so you can palm it and have the tip of the key protruding from your fingers to make contact. Make a fist to hide your key discreetly in your palm... you'll look like a real man as you show that door who's boss!

Ohhh- some old school 70's grounding strap throwback advice there...try it though. I'd just say your old lady has some classical conditioning thing kicking- she probably hates sharing you with a hunk of metal. I couldn't stop laughing- this post is hands down the thread of the month...I thought the coors one was good but then WHAM-my door keeps shocking me came up!
