How can static electricity be a nuisance?

Well, do you know sometimes when you touch a door handle and you get a small electric shock? That's static electricity. Although in most situations this is harmless, if you are in a building with oil, or explosive gases, this could cause a huge explosion.Another way static electricity can cause problems is when working with computer components such as motherboards or memory cards. A small amount of static is capable of damaging those sensitive components, which is why it's recommended you ground yourself and/or wear an anti-static wristband while working around computers.
