1. In winter, take any decent house anywhere with a severe winter climate.

2. Wait until it's -30F outside, open the doors to let that dry air in. Close the doors.

3. Heat the interior to +70F to make --extremely-- dry air.

4. Shuffle across the plastic carpet in leather-soled shoes.

5. Do NOT touch the metal door knobs.

Without meaning to, and without any of that I still managed to destroy a set of dimmer switches with a static shock from my finger, in winter. Boy did I feel stupid.
