Huh. For me it typically happens if I touch one of the USB cables on my desk.


It sometimes happen to me by just passing near them. At my previous work we had such dry air, that I made a habit of touching my steel watch bracelet to corner of entrance to my room, so that I don't reset the computers. Corner of entrance had a steel foil corner, which was grounded. Bracelet, because doing it bare skin was too painful and bigger contact area between skin and bracelet allowed me do de-energize more easily.
