Electrocuted by a running jacket

[Accy cyclist]

There i was in TK Maxx yesterday trying on stuff from their jumble sale type rails when i came across this jacket.http://www.adidas.co.uk/response-wind-jacket/M62352_290.html. That'll do me for a lightweight fold away/casual top to wear in a light shower etc i thought,so i tried it on. As soon as i zipped the skin tight object up i started to generate static electricity! I couldn't get the zip to open to make matters worse as it was faulty,.so there i was sparking and crackling until a shop assistant came over and helped me get the thing over my head and off me while electrocuting him as well! Beware of this jacket!!!

Serves ya right, cheapskate!

It was a shocking colour anyway

Should have gone for a run: your time would have been electrifying.

Isn't TK Maxx where kids go thieving now that Woolworths is closed down?

Serves ya right, cheapskate!

On the contrary! The object was reduced from 40 quid rrp to 25 quid,which is still a lot of money for a bit of plastic sheeting with a designer name on it!

I'm amazed your still alive, having been electrocuted and all that
Received an electric shock would be more accurate, you can survive those...

[QUOTE 3278820, member: 76"]I love tkMaxx.... I got one of these http://www.simplyhike.co.uk/product...sBurner.aspx?gclid=CIa9-4-_4MACFSgFwwodqSQA_g for £14.99 in the Weston Super Mare branch! Bargain of the century I think.

And one of these http://www.montane.co.uk/range/men/windproof/featherlite-smock for £20, the rest of the shop is like a bloody jumble sale though and I can find anything that properly fits or doesn't make me look like a Eurometrosexual![/QUOTE]
look after that Trangia, it will last you and your kids a lifetime and probably even your grand children if you care for it properly, assuming it is a genuine one

real Swedish quality!

we have two here at home one my older brothers and one my own (both got them from Swedish nan and gradad for our 15th birthday's)

Actually - and etymologically speaking - you could not be electrocuted unless you were seated in an electric chair and getting yourself over-amped by the warden in some prison. The term was invented as a shorthand for execution by electric chair.

has been updated to mean any death by electricity not just from old smoky.

Old Sparky.

The wierdest things seem to happen at TJ Maxx. (I don't know why they call it TJ Maxx over here) Just odd coincidences and meeting people I haven't seen for years and such. But that electrical thing takes the cake.

By whom? Common usage?
