Many people ask about shocks experienced when they touch the door, filing cabinet, lift, or other metal object.
Static electricity is generated whenever two materials are in contact with each other. All materials are made of electrical charges in the material atoms. In the universe there are equal amounts of negative electrical charge (electrons) and positive charge (protons). These generally try to stay in balance of equal amounts at every location.
However, when two materials are in contact, some of the charges redistribute by moving from one material to the other. This leaves an excess of positive charge on one material, and an equal negative charge on the other. When the materials move apart, each takes it's charge with it. One material becomes charged positively, and the other negatively.
If the materials are able to conduct electricity away the charges will dissipate and eventually recombine. In this case, static electricity effects may be too small to be noticed. However, if the charges are separated faster than the material can dissipate them, the amount of electrostatic charge builds up. Eventually a high voltage, and the effects of static electricity, may be noticed.
Yes I get them aswell

Avoid it by holding your key in your hand and touch the metal of the trolley to discharge the static build up without pain of spark on ginger tip

Electric shocks in England= a form of government mind control!! Now, I'm REALLY glad to be an American!! Our government doesn't try to control us, it just lies like he** to us, like, "We are winning the war on terrorism"!! Yeah, right!!
