That means that there is an excess of either positive or negative electric charge.
The charge repels so if it's a conductor the charge moves as far away as possible (the side of the object). It will also attract other objects with an opposite charge, or repel ones with like charge.
A rubbed balloon will stick to a wooden wall demonstrating the charge of static electricity. The friction of the rubbing of the balloon causes the charge to build.

Walking across the carpet causes charges to build up on your body. On a humid day the water molecules in the air tend to be attracted to the excess charge, even though they are neutral they are polar and will still move toward a source of charge. when they contact the charged object they pick up some of the excess charge and carry it away. This constant draining of charge makes it much harder to build up the proper amount of charge to get a nice noticeable shock.also because it its like that
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.

It is because there are a build up of electrons on a material. If it is static it can be plastic or paper etc . The electrons are surplus to atomic requirements of the material so a negative charge will build up. If the charge is big enough the electrons will try and find a positive source to neutralise the charge. The only thing stopping it from doing so is the insulating material such as air
Yeah, so of welding simply build of gun suppresor. It's always been that way and it always likely enough will stay that way, too
you build up another object

That shock is caused by static electricity, or the build-up of charge on an object. As you do something that will help build that charge (like scuff along a carpet), static electricity on your person increases. Water is a better conductor of electricity than dry air. In humid air, the static electricity will be slowly discharged as it contacts the water vapor. When there is no water vapor, the static electricity is not conducted away from your body as it builds up, and it accumulates. At some point, you come close to a good conductor of electricity - a metal object, for instance - and the built-up charge discharges.
