I have a lot of weird things that happen to me and I know for sure other people have had the same situations and we are just a bunch of poor unfortunate souls. But the one thing that I have yet to meet another person with the same problem has something to do with the shower. Some shower knobs are metal, we used to have metal ones for the longest time an that is when I found out I had this problem. After we had to get new pipes we also had to get new knobs and I was very happy because they were the plastic covered on with the metal in the back. But the weird thing that happens to me is that I get seriously shocked when I touch metal if the water is running. When I was little if I were to touch the knob to the water and the water was running I would get this shock so bad that my arm would go numb and it would be hard to deal with. There were points where I would not even take a shower for days because I didn't want to touch the knob. My mom just thought I was lazy and didn't believe me that the knob would shock me. Until one day I made her come into the bathroom with me and I was crying because it hurt so badly the shock and she finally believed me and she came up with the idea of using a jar opener and that helped a lot since it was rubber. I actually had to take that jar opener to friend's houses when I stayed the night because it any faucet had metal knobs it would shock me as well. Today even though we have the plastic covers I had that memory spark because of I accidentally reached too far back and felt that nasty shock. I know a water current can conduct electricity, but I had no idea you could get shocked by it, do you have this problem? Because I have yet to meet another person who gets shocked by knobs this badly.
