Something about my parents' house causes me to build up incredible amounts of static electricity when I move. I had reached the point where by moving a few feet across the living room, I had built up enough static to short circut a phone.

I kid you not. I touched the phone, it shocked the living hell out of me, and then it stopped working. I had to run upstairs and get another phone. Afterwards, my dad informed me that the phone did, in fact, short out from time to time because of static electricity.

That should be the first sign that something is wrong, when my body is producing enough electricity to destroy household appliances.

Also, my mother was getting upset that I yelled, "Ow! Motherfucker!" every time I turned on a light switch.
