Thanks to the extremely dry air, I am mildly electrocuted several times a day at my office. In fact, everytime I touch the metal door handle to either get into the department or the bathroom. Oh, and also when I need to call the elevator. It’s gotten so bad that I get shocked even when trying to cover my hand with the sleeve of my sweater. What the hell??

This cracked me up.
*OW!* Don’t do that. *OW!* Don’t do that. *OW!*…
Every time I point to the computer monitor to show somebody something, I get shocked. Donkeys are smarter than me.
even if you cover your hands with a sweater or sleeve you will still get shocked. I hate getting shocks too, I get shocked usually when I touch my laptop, which I have to be careful with because I don’t want to shock something on the board and well you know :-P
Try grounding yourself with a less sensitive portion of your anatomy. I usually try for a broad area such as the back of my hand or elbow.
You can also try changing shoes.. I find that leather soles tend not to let me build up as big a charge.
The cats just HATE it when I zap their heads going to pet them! (Not on purpose, of cours! ;)

I get shocked every time I get out of my car in cold weather. I’ve gotten in the habit of using my elbow to shut the door. Less painful.
I HATE getting shocked!!
Haha! That is so funny. When my friend Alex from Brazil came to visit last year, he kept getting shocked on everything he touched. It was making him a little insane and paranoid to shake anyone’s hand when introduced. So finally I just gave him a Bounce dryer sheet (more as a joke) and he carried that thing everywhere he went, rubbing it on doorknobs and stuff. It seemed to give him peace of mind, at least.
