Today's episode of the celebrated series "Things I hate about winter":

Electroclothes.

So I put off my coat in the library, and as I switch on the microfilm machine:
Dshh - electric shock. Outch!

Actually I'm still quite hot (maybe because of all the electricity with my body) so I pull of my pullover too, and as I put the microfilm into the machine:
Dshh - electric shock. Outch! Again!

Also it's not so funny if you take off your coat in the washroom and you know already: If I ever want to leave this cubicle again I have to suffer because as soon as I touch the lock I'll get a shock.

Seriously, if I was so keen on indulging in romantic childhood memories of touching electric fences on warm summer days I would get me some wire.

Argh!
