Touching bare, live, contacts, connected to mains electricity will give you a nasty shock which could be fatal. Your house circuits have protection using circuit breakers, fuses and RCDs.
Large batteries have the capacity to deliver very large currents if shorted out, which can cause fires and may explode, showering acid and/or chemicals all over the place.

Why can static electricity be dangerous when its discharged?

The charges that build up on either surface can become quite large. When discharged the current will also be quite large. Large currents can cause severe injury. As an example, lightning is static electricity in action.


What devices can store large amounts of electricity even when unplugged?

Well, it depends on what you mean by "large." A capacitor can store a fair amount of electricity, especially those used inside CRT monitors. Beyond that, batteries such as sealed lead-acid batteries used in cars, motorcycles, boats, and UPS units all can store a good amount of electricity. Is this what you sought to learn or did you have something else in mind? Feel free to drop me a line if you wish further assistance.
