Went into a similar issue. Always when wearing Polyester trousers and getting up after sitting/laying on a wooden, cotton coated bed. Then slippng into some rubber slippers and always getting zapped at the next Sink/PC/Buddy... Literally anything that is differently charged.

Personal Workaround so far...
-Take off/ exchange those trousers.
-Walk barefoot, or touch the ground (barefoot for better results) before slipping into those slippers.

Optimal solution:
Calculate and construct a antistatic wrist/ankle Band with adjustable length that will fit your local living room..
