Cause

1. If you are the only person who feels the shock, it might be a static electric shock. It occurs more often when the weather is dry, and the intensity of the shock differs by people.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;2. When it is humid in summer or if your skin contacts a refrigerator, it might give you a mild electric shock due to the weak electricity running through the refrigerator case or handles.
