This should do it. Get a humidifier, don't shuffle when you walk, and if you don't want to feel the shock, hold a key or other piece of metal and touch it to a grounded object like a screw on a switchplate or electrical outlet faceplate, water pipe/faucet, or your car's frame (touch bare metal, not the paint!)

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.
