I live in the UK so I guess I do have high humidity? We are always carpeted and barefoot, I guess the humidity just keeps the static away. I am 82% humidity today I guess that is pretty high

Yeah - it's mostly a problem under 40% humidity

Anything over 60% and the air itself becomes quite conductive — enough to release any charge that builds up just by having your skin touch the air. Nearly impossible to generate an ESD over 60%.
