I don't remember if it was always was like, this but this happened to me with two different microwaves in two different houses. It mostly happens when touch the top of the microwave, but it can happen with the door too.

I though that it was just something unavoidable with microwaves and didn't mention it to anyone, but today i decided to tell my mom and, she said never had any microwave electrocute, same goes for my sisters.

My little sister did comment that i have high energy(what they call my ADHD) as the probable causes. I don't really that possible but i have discovered weird things about my biology before(e.g if i leave my computer screen on in my room, i can feel its heat even under the blanket and cant sleep).

Update: I still do not know why i get shocked while my family don't. I told my sister to touch the microwave door and she didn't feel anything, then i put my hand next to hers and we both get shocked. I have a theory that's its cuz i am very hairy? Either way, i am told there are lot of possible causes

Native English speakers do something similar where they say someone can be "electric". I've had my share of idioms being misunderstood as realistically accurate and I see others all the time.

If it was a joke the whole time, we missed it. It's hard to convey a humorous tone by text.
