I would be one of those people. I'm extremely sensitive to electric 
shocks. Static electricity in our dry winters drives me nuts in the house.
Walk across the floor in socks and the first metal thing I touch sends a 
shock right into my fingernail. Good way to spill a cup of coffee.
Bad when getting out of a vehicle too , especially wearing nylon jackets.
I remember, as a kid, getting a jolt off an old Ford flathead 
accidentally brushing against a spark plug wire while it was running. 
Whatever was in my hand
went flying across the yard.
Combining peas is one crop where static buildup of dust on hot engine 
parts has contributed to fires. Some years worse than others but it is
just one more reason I'll never grow peas.
