usually by wearing socks while scuffing ones feet on wool carpet will accumulate static charge, this static electricity can be used to 'zap' friends and co-workers.
Alternatively, nervous system issues (particularly low acetylcholine levels, NOT recommended to be artificially altered) can allow one to accumulate a disproportionate level of charge before on discharges.

Why cant nothing be charged by static electricity?
Not sure what you are asking. You have used two fine negative words in the question, so interpretation is difficult."Why can't anything be charged by static electricity?"Static means stationary. Once the static electricity is given the chance to flow, it is dissipated. If I charge myself with static electricity by rubbing my shoes on a synthetic carpet, then I have "trapped" the electricity - it is static or still. When I touch my friend on the ear or hand, the electricity flows to her with a zap and is lost to the ground.Electricity that is generated or from a battery flows continuously in a circuit it is not dissipated.

What is static electricity lightning?
Lightning in itself IS static electricity. The only difference between lightning and the little zap you feel when you rub your feet on your carpet and touch something metal is that Lightning is MILLIONS of times more powerful.
