because of static and because your gay
You get an electric shock if you touch a doorknob after walking on carpet because of built up of extra electrons transferred from the carpet to your feet and then body. The electrons stay built up on you until you touch something that they can discharge on, in this case a doorknob.
walk across a carpet and drag your feet in your socks and touch metal and you will produce static electricity and get a shock.

You just grounded out your charge.
Static electricity.
I assume that 'charge' refers to the build up of static electricity. Walk across a nylon carpet and touch someone, and a spark of static electricity will give both of you a shock.
It is because the Greek root word "tribo or tribos" means to rub or rubbing. Friction transfer of electrons occurring during contact of two opposite materials on the triboelectric series of materials causes electrical properties to change overall polatity. Example... Rub a rubber balloon on your hair and touch it to the wall and it sticks until the electrons dissipate. Also walk across nylon carpet with tennis shoes and touch a doorknob and ZAP you get a shock. Once the shock was received the electron imbalance is gone and no more shock until you walk across the carpet or "rub" your feet on the carpet.
Walking across a carpet can cause charge separation, which creates static electricity. You become electrically charged. When you get zapped touching a door knob, the static charge you had built up is discharging.
Scorpions prefer to not walk on carpet. Their legs get caught on the carpet fibres.
I hate them too.When the humidity is low, static charge will build up no matter how hard you try to avoid it. The only thing I have found is to touch metal object with something else before touching my hand.
Walking across a nylon carpet can cause charge separation between you and the carpet. You take on an electrostatic charge as a result. Touching a door knob allows that charge you accumulated to neutralize via a discharge event. The static discharge is the electric shock.
