The easiest thing to do is touch wood.

Prior to touching the lightswitch, touch the doorframe - even if it is painted or has a coat of enamel or whatever on it. The wood pretty much absorbs the excess current.

This is also a reason why trees tend to be hit by lightning pretty often. They act as a natural focus point for the electricity coming down from the sky.
