  you guys drag your feet when you walk?
  
  that builds up a static charge.. and if you wear rubber soled shoes, the static charge does not get grounded...
  
  so when something is not the same charge as you, and you almost touch it, the charges in the form of electrons, "jump" across to equal out the charge...
  
  that's static
  
  probably where you were, the humidity is very low else humidity also takes away a lot of the static charges

  There was once during the christmas festive period I was taking the escalator at Isetan Shaw. Apparently the deco lighting along the escalator had faulty wiring and the static was more like a real zap.

  I always zap my frenz..... maybe cos we Opposite charge......that's why we attract....and became frenz in the first place.
  
  Anyway....sometimes the zap is soooooooooooo great until pple beside me can actually hear a "Sssppppuuukkkk" sound....
