Hi there, all you lovely peoples.

I am looking for advice, this may seem bloggy, but we can't have pinky take all the forum space, now can we…. :wink05:

Ok, so here's what is happening;

I'm an incomplete, just about, but have some good things going for me in the right areas and in other areas I have deep muscle sensation rather than touch to the skin on me legs, but this weird thing happens to me at certain times.

What you ask? How kind of you.

Now, I have three chairs, two with solid tyres, one with pneumatics and it makes no odds as to which chair I'm in when it happens.



What happens? Jeez, give me a minute and I'll get to it…



If I'm washing the floor in the kitchen (ceramic tiles) and when the floor is wet, if I reach towards a switch, plug, that, which holds electricity, I get the tingling sensation coming up my right leg, all the way to the hip, I don't get this on the left leg. I noticed this one night while washing the floor, I was naked at the time, now this happens when I'm wearing clothes also, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why it only happens on the right leg and not the left, and also, why it stops at the hip.

Funny thing is, I was left footed when AB and I can move the toes on the left at will, when I have a fair amount of spasm, I can move the toes on the right at will, or if I decide to beat my right leg with my pink dildo, they move at will also. Now, there are times when the washing machine is on, floor washed, still wet, and if I sit near the washing machine, without going near any sockets or plugs, I'll still get me tingle.

As to why I tingle, is beyond me.

Sooooooo, what do YOU think the issue could be?



Only serious replies please, as I'm a tad sensitive (after cumming)..



Thanks in advance

The lesson being: Don't lie, stand nor sit in water while grabbing live electical outlets...There is no evidence available that suggests a pink dilrod will protect you from shock...A brown one might tho...Further research needs to be done..I'm serious..

Can I ask what cycle your machine is on when it happens? I've beed told strange things can happen on a spin cycle.

I would also suggest further research, try wearing a rubber mask when washing the floor naked
it might conduct some of the electricity? :ph34r:

I hope you get some relief from this soon.

Rubber mask, oh god no, that is purely for the bedroom.

Have you had an earth leakage test done on your electrics?

A few years ago, despite having an earth leakage trip, our decorator would keep getting a shock off the wall when wallpapering.

7 years later, on the second decorator, we found a nail had gone through the mains cabling, and just nipped the live wire. The said nail was pulled out, and we had a happy decorator!

Sounds like you could have something similar, but how you'd find it under the floor may be difficult.

See if you can isolate it to a certain area of floor, does it happen with all the sockets, and get a mains cable sensor to make sure there are no dodgey wires under the floor.

Sometimes a live wire can get pressed against the backbox on the socket, and if the earth wire has come adrift, this could cause problems.

Just a few ideas!

Simon

Might be best to just get an electrician PDQ rather than speculating about the cause.

You could try turning all the power off to the kitchen before you wash the floor next time and see if you notice the tingling then. If you don't, you definitely need an electrician. Not only does it seem that you are getting minor shocks, but it may get worse and could potentially be deadly, or cause a fire. Get it sorted.

You do with a ZANUSSI ZWH6160P Washing Machine with a Spin speed of 1600 rpm

Boss, GB, thank you very much for the advice, I am actually serious, this time, I'll get it checked out, I did get the whole kitchen knocked through and an extension added a few year back, never noticed or had the problem until a few months back, also, must renew house insurance and keep ladder at bedroom window.

Boudica, so your a "single lady" then LOL

I once asked a woman if her husband liked it when she told him when she "unloads the washing machine"(analogy)
She said, he did.
I then asked if he minded her ringing him while he was at work!!

I'm curious as to why you were naked? I'm not sure why this is being overlooked!

Hmmm - electricity and a washing machine, spins and tingles, woofy naked and a rubber mask, nails and wires ....

Why is it my head starts spinning (at about 1200 rpm) whenever I reread this thread?

OK, here is some sound analytical advice:

1) Call an electrician, as soon as possible!
2) Stop using the washing machine - wash by hand.
3) Stop washing the floor - use a vacuum cleaner.
4) Stop wearing a rubber mask (even in the bedroom) - it blurs your vision.
5) Have a number of scans to make very sure why it is only your right side - this may be an important clue.
6) :censored:
7) :offtopic:
8) :crazy:

(And believe it or not, no joking: I had just finished this long and thoughtful post, before sending it, when my computer suddenly closed down to have another Windows update. WTF. I know, I know, one shouldn't use Windows. :offtopic: )



Jenny, wishing you good luck!
