when you get zapped in the supermarket by your trolley it sends a little bit of energy through the metal in the trolley to your body, and if you get shocked by lightning you get a big shock of energy. but with a metal door handle it is exactly like the shopping trolley and it will send a shock of energy through the metal to your body.
i hope this helped as i am only 13 :)

Does lighting strike cell towers?
A cell tower can receive multiple lightning strikes in just one year, but due to the construction, the energy received from the lightning bolt is transferred to the soil at the base of the tower. Cell towers, like any tall metallic object, is a beacon to lightning and the higher the tower is in height, the more susceptible it is to receive the strike.

Why you are likely to receive a shock after walking across a carpet when the air is dry than when the air is humid?
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.

How can you avoid getting electric shock by touching non electric items or people?
Usually this sort of shock is from static electricity. The easy way to avoid getting the shock is to simply not have the electric spark touch your skin. If you have a jacket that makes sparks jump off your skin after taking it off, or anything that like - then just hold some piece of metal, like a screw or a pin, and touch it to a grounded metallic surface like a doorknob or a metal table. You'll probably see a spark jump across, but it you won't feel it, because it's not in contact with any of your nerves. This won't work 100% of the time, but it helps most of the time.
