I do the same thing...when I get jolted, my wife can hear the snap ( followed by the profanity coming out of my mouth ) even if she's in a different room...she laughs! I can also see the flashes of light from my fingertip to whatever metal I touch. I have learned to make a fist and touch whatever is gonna zap me with my knuckles to discharge....works every time, as long as I remember to do it!
