It is a quick arc. I've not noticed a change from my bunny slippers to sneakers or bare feet it seems to happen regardless. But the more I think about it the more likely that it is static electricity. Because even when you walk into the kitchen in bare feet you get zapped by the metal bar that seperates the tile from the carpet. Although not to the same degree you get at the switches. I always fear that I wake up the neighbors when I get zapped late at night and profanities come blurting out. The humidifier is probably a good idea. As is the key/coin idea which I read after posting.
And just so you know I always touch the wall to ground myself to that first. There is typically a small zap then. But even after that the switch/screw nails ya pretty good.
