Best Answer

If you mean tangible objects, these can become charged with static electricity. All objects, including you, have what are known as free electrons mainly on their surface. The rug on your bedroom floor has free electrons on its surface for example.

So if you shuffle across that bedroom floor in leather slippers, your slippers and you will pick up lots of those free electrons on the rug. Now you are charged with excess electrons...more than you'd normally have. You've gained free electrons.

So the next time you touch a faucet or a metal door knob, those excessive electrons on your hand will jump to that faucet or knob because the faucet or knob have relatively fewer electrons than you do. And when you are about to touch that faucet or knob...SNAP...you release a spark of electrons. And you've lost those excess electrons and you're back to normal.
