I kind of figure I must have a different electrical charge than most people, or some sort of chemical "difference" that attracts it. So far as I know, the only real adverse effect to me personally has been losing most of my molars, which crack when my jaw slams shut from the current. They usually take a few years to break up, then start coming out in pieces.
There's usually a lot of damage to the buildings (4), boats (3) or cars (1) I am in on or near when it happens. Once it melted the fuse box in my car, once it exploded every light bulb in the house, once it fried the well pump, once it froze the "points" in the boat engine and boiled the water in the holding tank, and once it did $40K in damage to a gas station when it passed through me into the pump. GENERALLY I am touching something when it happens so the charge goes through me and most of the damage is to whatever I am "grounded" to. I don't even tempt fate by carrying an umbrella when it rains!
I bet no one ever wants to hold your hand.
