You may experience a mild electric shock when touching others due to static electricity buildup. This occurs when your body accumulates excess electric charge, often from friction with materials like clothing or carpets. When you touch another person, the stored charge can discharge, resulting in a small shock. This phenomenon is more common in dry conditions where humidity is low, as moisture in the air helps dissipate static charges.
