Now that I live in Bend, one of my biggest problems is static electricity. Every time that I reach for my computer at work, I get shocked; sometimes hard enough that the affected finger goes a little numb for a few minutes.
Another problem I have is that I am lazy. Horribly, horribly lazy... at least when it comes to mundane things. Ask my wife, she'll confirm: I'm the laziest person there is. Think you're the laziest? Wrong. It's me.
So, long story short: I don't have dryer sheets because I am too lazy to walk across the street and buy them. So my static electricity problem is worse than ever before.
Problem: My pants carry too high a static charge.
Solution: Wrap them around the faucet while I'm brushing my teeth.
Faucets are pretty well grounded things. Wrapping your clothes around them for a few minutes will drain them of most of their static charge.
So, if you are lazy and don't want to go get dryer sheets - or maybe your one of those new-age enviro-douches who lives in constant fear of the dryer-sheet-ocolypse... whatever the case, if you don't want to use dryer sheets use the faucet to de-staticify your clothes before you wear them. You have my personal guarantee that it will work.*
