actually yes!... you can... although it will be consider a weird thing to do. Constantly be touching wood. Never, if you don't want to be shocked, touch metal without touching wood first.

How is the shock you receive from a doorknob like lighting?
when you get zapped in the supermarket by your trolley it sends a little bit of energy through the metal in the trolley to your body, and if you get shocked by lightning you get a big shock of energy. but with a metal door handle it is exactly like the shopping trolley and it will send a shock of energy through the metal to your body. i hope this helped as i am only 13 :)
Why is a static discharge if you touch a metal doorknob after walking on a wool carpet?
energy form rubbing your feet on the carpet is acumulated "in" you, and the doorknob acts a ground. Once you touch the doorknob, the energy exits. It makes more sense if you think that you are the positive end of a circuit, and the energy goes through the circuit, and the spak can be thought of as an LED.

How do you check if a door is hot?
Check the doorknob. A wooden door may not feel hot, even if the other side is burning (wood insulates). However, the metal doorknob, which goes all the way through the door, DOES conduct heat very well. If the doorknob is hot, so is the other side of the door.
