I hardly ever wear this shirt because it almost always has static and it clings to me, however, I didn't really have it all together this morning and I needed a shirt to go with my black pants, so I didn't have much of a choice but to wear it. I put it on and it seemed to be okay. Once I got to work, though, it was a different story. It was clinging to both my stomach and my back and driving me crazy. I jokingly asked a co-worker if she happened to have any dryer sheets with her, and then decided to see what Google would turn up if I typed in "how to get rid of static in your clothes." The only answer that didn't involve having dryer sheets, a dryer, or various other things not typically found in an office was one I'd never heard of: use lotion. The "tip" said to "go in private" (like I needed to be told that!) and apply lotion to the area of your body that the clothing is clinging to. I happened to have lotion in my purse (although that is kinda surprising considering I don't really like lotion and never use it...I don't like my hands feeling "wet"), so I headed to the bathroom for a little experiment. I seriously doubted it would work. It worked. For about 30 minutes. Now if I would have had nothing else to do today, I guess I could have kept reapplying lotion to my stomach and back every 30 minutes, but I just had to deal with the static and of course, I immediately yanked the thing off when I walked in the door, vowing to never wear the shirt again (I probably will!) or to buy some of the static spray in the travel bins at Wal-mart for my purse.

And, sure, I didn't go through the proper experimental steps that Mythbusters would have, but for a non-science geek, this is the best you are going to get out of me.
