Small things that annoy you thread

Getting shocked by kinetic electricity you mean? When it's traveling from/to your body to/from another source it's changed from static to kinetic. If it was still static then you wouldn't get shocked.
I also don't like smart asses and irony.

I'm no physics major but wouldn't it be static friction if the object is at rest and kinetic is when the object is in motion? So if I were to touch a door handle and get shocked, wouldn't it be static?
I also don't like know it alls.

The static electricity stored within the door knob is called static because it's staying in that one location. When it jumps to your skin it's changed from static to kinetic (it's jumping). People just call it a static shock because it comes from electricity that was previously static.
Also numbers don't actually exist.

It really is alarming how many volts are discharged when you get the slightest shock from touching a doorknob, it can be thousands of volts. Unless you're talking about a bolt of lightning, usually the static electricity carries a very low amperage which is why we usually live through the doorknob shock. That small amount of static can be deadly to electronics though, even with low amps.
Thankfully my list of things that annoy me is getting a lot smaller....so I guess I'm back to gnomes.
It is what it is.
