How can you avoid static electricity and from getting electrocuted?

I received this question from the blogfollower: 
Before answering the question let me tell you that: 
You can also send me your electrical quires and I will try to answer. 
Answer: 
It sounds like you or the person has become a walking Tesla coil! LOL

First, let me address the car door issue. This static electricity buildup is common in dry weather, especially when the car's interior is also dry.
A few tips to help you avoid getting zapped:

1. Touch a metal part of the car before getting out: Try to touch a metal part of the car (like the door frame) before opening the door. This will discharge the static electricity from his body and prevent the shock.
2. Use a grounding strap: Try to attach a grounding strap to your car's door frame. This will provide a path for the static electricity to dissipate harmlessly into the ground.
3. Wear natural fibers: Try to wear clothing made of natural fibers like cotton, as synthetic materials like polyester can exacerbate static buildup.

Now, the ATM issue. It's possible that the ATM machine is also experiencing static electricity buildup, which can be transferred to you when you touches the machine.

Solutions:
1. Use a grounding mat: Try to bring a small grounding mat with you when using the ATM. Place your hand on the mat before touching the machine, which will help dissipate any static electricity.
2. Wear an anti-static wristband: Try to wear an anti-static wristband, which can help prevent static buildup on your body.
3. Use a conductive pen: Carry a conductive pen with you, which you can use to touch the ATM machine before inserting your card. This will help dissipate any static electricity.

These solutions may help, they won't completely eliminate the risk of static electricity buildup. It's always a good idea to be cautious and avoid touching metal surfaces with your bare hands if possible.

I hope these tips help you or anyone one else avoid getting zapped in the future!
