Our crocs & static electricity
these are just some of the 10 pairs of crocs that jon and i own....(technically, jon will say he owns only 1 pair and i own the rest!).....but that doesn't matter.....they're soooo light and comfortable, i wouldn't deny that nowadays they're the only footwear i use......(except for a pair of nike sneakers i use when i go out and exercise).....especially when i stay at the meatshop the whole day!!!
there's one thing that i observed though ever since i started wearing them.....i seem to generate or be hit by static electricity everytime i go near large metallic objects or equipment housed in metallic casings......which are practically what we have all over the shop......like stainless steel tables, upright and chest freezers and chillers, metal display racks, even hanging metal display racks for products in sachets!!! i've told jon and the people in the shop about this but they wouldn't believe me.....they thought i was kidding around whenever i'd suddenly jump in surprise and a little pain....i swear, i could hear and see the static whenever it hits me!!!
curious, i googled the words crocs and static electricity together.....and lo and behold, the phenomenon seems to be happening in some parts of the world as well.....more significantly, it has been observed in hospital settings where nurses wearing crocs footwear were observed to have generated static electricity which were powerful enough to have affected medical equipment. in fact, in some hospitals wearing them has been banned!!! so that means, i have not been dreaming of being so "statically" powered after all!!!
should i ban myself from wearing crocs at the shop? no way jose(lito)! what's a little bit of temporary stinging pain compared to countless hours of rest and comfort??? besides, the people at the shop seem to enjoy whenever they see me suddenly jerk my hand or jump in surprise whenever i get hit!!!
if only i can amass, harvest and use this to power the shop.....we would've saved a lot in electricity costs!!! hahahahahaha

wow! that's really shock-ing! hehehe~ I never thought of it...but you know what? Julius gets shocked too! He loves his crocs but have outgrown them~ Plus he can't wear them for the cold season anyway~ I should advise Billy not to buy them when he starts working at the hospital~ DOL
at last, a post from you and i never thought it would be that electrifying! word of caution, don't ever be subjected into the metal detector machine, you might be electrocuted or you might electrocute them. hehehe.
nah mabelle, pls don't advise billy not to buy them....advise him not to use them at the hospital....unless of course he wears socks with them. i only get shocked whenever i wear my crocs without socks (which is always!!! hahahahahaha)
diko, bwahahahahaha.
