Static

[EvanDavis]

THIS is the monitor I use and THIS is the desk I have.
Lately when I come back from my morning cycle I get a massive static shock when I touch my desk. Today and this is the second time it has happened I have got a static shock and my monitor has rebooted. I have tried stuff like touching a kitchen tap or a radiator before sitting down at my desk yet still get the static shock. Any ideas how else I can discharge myself ??

It's certain clothing where the static builds up. You may have to roll around on the floor when you get in.

Ever seen Better Call Saul? Sounds like you need one of those grounding poles like Chuck has outside his house

Earth the desk.

Earth the desk.

Yep - easiest way would be if you have a copper radiator pipe nearby. Just bridge to that with some cable. Otherwise, you could use an earth bonding socket:
