While glass is positively charged, the oxygen in the DNA, which is negatively charged, is attracted to it, making it "sticky". DNA is mostly composed of oxygen meaning that it can stick to pretty much anything.

Why are sticky ends called sticky?

Sticky ends are called "sticky" because the single-stranded overhangs created by certain restriction enzymes can bind to another DNA molecule with a complementary overhang, leading to the joining of the two DNA molecules. The complementary pairing between the sticky ends creates a temporary connection, similar to how something sticky adheres to another surface.
