Wear soft rubber sole shoes. The harder shoes allow the static to build up and discharge. Crepe leather soles do the same thing.

I have shopped at Costco for 25 years and have never been shocked. Maybe don’t drag your feet, people?

The biggest lesson learned as a child on my local rescue squad is speed. Speed is so much more dangerous than many other factors leading to crashes. Speed is also easily controlled and rarely saves any truly remarkable time. People who would regard themselves as “law abiding” seem to drive 10-20 miles above the speed with blissful indifference. Nowadays, adding a cell phone makes tragedy inevitable.
Gun toting , aggresive tailgaiters in lifted pickup trucks are the icing on the cake, and for what?

When I wear my topsiders, I get jolted more than a bit when walking through stores pushing a shopping cart. Then I wear my hikers or athletic walkers it doesn’t happen.

Maybe it’s potential energy in the little weiner snacks they hand out.

Flying on a plane with a bunch of young kids whose parents don’t manage the said kids.
I don’t usually react to kids, but will say things to their parents.

I was on a flight in the row behind a family with small kids, the youngest was wailing for quite a while in the arms of the dad…who fell asleep and kicked his shoes off.
Either of those is bad enough, but both? Unpardonable.
We hit some turbulence, and the loafers started making their way back a few rows. I may have helped their journey. A price had to be paid.
Approach and arrival, the dad wakes up, “where’s my shoes?” No passengers in the vicinity said a thing. High fives were exchanged in the jetway as the offender and family searched for dad’s shoes.

Good old fashioned Frequent Flyer justice. Thanks for your part in doling it out.
Edit to say: a least it wasn’t this guy:

My pet peeve is when people are mean to others because they act or think differently from the accepted norm.
OK Mother Theresa.
