Generally increased humidity decreases static electricity bucause water molacules allow the discharge of free electrons. To illustrate this try rubbing a ballon on your hair when it's dry and then again when it's damp.

Does static electricity affect objects?
Yes, static electricity does affect objects.
How does weather affect static electricity?
The lower the humidity, the higher the static electricity
Does dyed hair affect static electricity?
no
How static electricity can affect an object?
Go away
Does mass affect static electicity?
Yes, I do think that mass affect static electricity because the bigger the object the more static electricity is needed to support the object against the surface. It also depends on how heavy the object is, heavy or light.

Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?
static electricity is static electricity
Does water temperature affect how much the water bends with static electricity?
I don't know about "stick to," but if you turn on a tap so that just a thin stream of water is coming out you can actually bend it by bringing an object with a static charge near the stream.
Why do the water bend after you charge a balloon?
Static electricity.
