This happens to me when I brush off my mousepad too fast with my palm. It will also cause my wireless headset to "reboot".

I use wired headphones, and I'll get an electric discharge from my inner ear and through my earbuds when I get up from my chair.

It's not painful, but feels like pop rocks in my ear canal.
