Ask HN: How many of you have noticed a surge in static electricity lately?

Have you observed that suddenly static electricity has increased, and those tiny shocks, which were once a fun game in our childhood, have become a frequent part of our daily life? Am I the only one experiencing this, or are you guys experiencing it too?

It could be related to lack of humidity in the air, or to different materials on the floor, your shoes, or your chair. All of those things can affect the rate of build-up of static charges.

Yes I do agree. But its not just me but recently I am listening it from lot of my friends and relatives as well that they are experienced many more incidents than past.
