Everything is a little "zappy"

Experiencing electronics in this country makes me realize why everything is grounded in North America. If you're in bare feet and your hands are a little moist, you will probably get a little shock from anything metal that is plugged in. I can't even rest my wrists on the grills of my built-in laptop speakers because it will tickle me with a little buzz-like shock. The electric oven is the same story, as is the Schmidt's computer and even video projector at TLC. It's not enough to really hurt you but its enough to say "ow" and "is it supposed to do that?" The answer around here is "yes".
