I have this electrical thing. Apparently my body produces more electricity than the normal body usually does. This manifests itself through the shorting out and screwing up of any electrical devices I keep on my person. I learned this long ago when I use to wear a pager and had to have it replaced every six months. Watches last a few weeks. I shock myself with paint.
So I had bought myself an archos MP3 player. The unit stopped working a month after I got it. They have just told me that they cannot fix it so they are sending my an upgraded version of the one I bought.
My cell phone has to be replaced now too. I have shorted out it's charging capabilities. Luckily it too is still under warrantee.
So it's sucky that I destroy everything, but happy that they send me new and better as a resualt.
