Same problem here, I just wish my issue was just limited to batteries though. Batteries are usually shot within 2 weeks for me. No iPod, no cell phone, no laptop, no portable DVD player, etc. The bizarro thing is that I seem to effect electrical appliances as well - these are just a few things I've managed to "blow up" (not just once but multiple times) - blenders, hot glue guns (more than you can count), hair dryers, answering machines, list goes on and on. Can't even begin to tell you our yearly expense on light bulbs because I blow them when I flip the light switch. Speaking of which (which is a big joke in the family now) I set off the fire detector (totally seperate entity and is not wired into the house) that is in the hallway right outside the restroom. When I flip the switch for the bathroom I get a nasty shock sometimes and the alarm goes off. Odd....
I've read many articles where people say "you probably got a defective appliance"..... I'm 36 and this has been happening since childhood. I have experimented with different brands, makes, models blah blah blah. Same outcome. I find it hard to believe that my luck is THAT bad. Anyways, I've always been a "sickly" person (cancer twice) and I notice the electrical issues are the worst when I'm not feeling well. Doctors have looked at me like I'm nuts and I don't like living in the stone age. Since people are different some people could just produce more electicity than others. When we get back to the city (in boonies right now) I plan on going to the university to see if there are any studies on this and possibly volunteering.
Maybe consider doing the same, if anything you might gain a bit of insight or possible understanding of why.
Good luck! :-)
