I've made an unfortunate discovery about using my iPod in the wintertime. Maybe it's the polyester lining in the wool pants I'm wearing, or it could be the long wool coat I just bought, but my iPod has been delivering more than just Sam Cooke's crooning today. Every time I take a few steps, my earbuds shock the inside of my ears with static electricity.
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts--ZAP!!
Sometimes it's a little shock. (ow?)
But then I shift my bag to get my Metrocard or something, and it pops me for real. (OW!! WTF WAS THAT?!)
I might try carrying a couple of dryer sheets in my coat pockets.... does anyone have a better idea?
At least I don't have it as bad as this guy.

Try putting your ipod in your bag, rather than your coat. Don't complete the circuit, in other words.
Try it standing in a puddle of water, or under a tree in the rain, oh... or by a giant aluminum coil. You could always just hum a long without it.
Good lord 'n' butter...Have you been getting baby scale electro-shock therapy? I would have wet my pants the first time or two. Eek!
