I don't know if it's my shoes, new undies or the weather but everything I touched in Aldi gave me a zap. I apologised to the near by shoppers who heard me say FUCK while reaching for the rice because it hurt.

I did not get a stick vacuum nor a carpet cleaner and I'm unimpressed.

you’d better not come near me because when it’s zap season i zap everyone every few minutes

I have zapped my husband way too many times. He always asks "what is wrong with you?".

Should go up to him and go zappity zap zap zap and touch him.

Might traumatise him after though.

I have! Unintentionally though. While he's pushing the trolley I've grabbed his arm to make him stop and zzzapp. It hurts him too.

My husband and I accidentally zap each other quite often, and we joke that it’s the electric chemistry between us.

I hate car zaps so much. Can't open the bloody door without being jolted.

Cat zaps are also a problem
