This usually happens when I’m in a room where the floor is carpeted. After some time, whenever I touch metal objects (eg. metal cupboard, door noob, tap water, car etc) I will get a static shock. Sometimes, it is the shirt that I wear that accumulates static charges. It may sound trivial but when that happens often enough, I get paranoid when I’m about to touch any metal objects.
There is a “wrist band” that computer technicians wear on their wrist (of course — wrist band 
) to drain away any static charges from the body. I’m seriously thinking of getting myself one of those. However, it would be wacky to do so. Therefore, the easiest way to avoid static shock is to open door knobs with a cloths instead. Or, you can always go barehanded and get a tiny shock.
