Best Answer

there are wristbands available that ground you, so any static electricity you generate is transferred away from you. Also, touching anything metal will discharge the electricity just like the wristband, however, and more you generate will be transferred to the computer component you are working with (which is where i believe you were going with this question)

So grounding an edifice will guarantee that the discharge will follow the wire as opposed to humans or gas tanks
