I had this issue with my MacBook Pro in the apartment I lived in back in the early 2010's, but never had the issue since, so I always assumed it was some grounding issue.
Why is my MacBook zapping me lately?

#12It’s likely to do with grounding. I’ve had it reliably in one location, but then with the same MacBook it doesn’t do it in another location. Probably grounding-related.

#14Does your charger have 3 pins or 2? It could be a grounding issue (which has gone on forever). Or you have carpets and plastic shoes? You are the problem. It is not dangerous, just annoying to those who sense it.
Ah yes it is a 2 pin...ungrounded. Is there a way I can ground myself/and-or my laptop? I just had achilles tendon surgery so I can't really touch grass, so to speak proverbially (or literally?).
