When you rub a balloon on your hair, you’re transferring electrons from a mostly neutral source to a mostly neutral recipient. Why do they go at all, and why is it always from one to the other? What makes the balloon want my electrons more than my hair does? It would seem reasonable that after the balloon *does* steal some, it would immediately start returning them when you keep rubbing since your hair is now positively charged.

Maybe the balloon isnt stealing them, maybe the electrons just aren’t that into you?
