Static

By jewel87 - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I wore my Ugg boots to work. I forgot that my office is carpeted and that the fur in my boots makes me shock every metal thing I touch. I work with computers all day. FML

You deserve it for wearing Uggs. There is a very good reason why they are called "Uggs".

There is rubber on the bottom of every shoe so you cannot shock anything. This would never happen unless u took off your boots and were wearing socks and you then preceded to slide your feet on the ground. This could never happen with your shoes on uggs or other shoes, you dumb retarded person

Actually you're not being very smart either. Wearing rubber-soled shoes doesn't prevent you from shocking things. You wont pick up the static from the carpet if you're wearing rubber soled shoes, but if you pick it up from elsewhere, you can definitely still shock things. Maybe OP had something else static-y around and she assumed it was from her shoes.

Erm take them off? You work in a carpeted office it's not like your walking on glass and rocks all day, just pad around in your socks

YDI for wearing shitty boots that actually don't work like boots should.
