Is it a short or is it static?

Hmmm..   At first I thought it was just static too, and my friend and 
I would wait for the other to get out first (to absorb the shock) but 
then it kept getting us both anyway.  It was bad enought that I would 
see arks too and even bad enought that when I put my key in to lock 
the door it shocked me so bad that I dropped my keys.  Could this 
much of a shock come from just static electricity?
