if you get a static shock

You can find if something is charged in several ways. One way is to see if it will discharge onto you or another surface. However, not all charged objects will discharge on the surface you present. SO, you can use a homemade charge detector like a Versorium or bring something with very little mass (like pepper flakes) and see if it will induce a charge and attract them.
