    This is False.

    If you walk towards a Vander Graaff generator and touch it, your body will be electrically charged with the same sign as the generator (that's why your hair stands up, because it is charged with static electricity, and ... electrical charges of the same sign repel each other)

    Note that the Vander Graaff generator is isolated from the ground, so, if the electrical charge is increased, electrical arcs will form and fly off it to any nearby grounded object or person.
