I haven't built up this much static electricity in a while, or at all that I can really remember. I have hardwood floors and am wearing shoes, so it wasn't the stereotypical socks on carpet. I just put my hand up to brace myself as I leaned over to examine my thermostat. My index finger was perhaps a quarter of an inch away when it happened.
I saw a bright spark connect my finger and the metal of the thermostat. I also felt it and heard a snap. I've felt such shocks before, but never really seen one like this. It was very bright, like an electrical or fire starting spark. I didn't realize you could inadvertently build up static that powerfully.
