Rubbing your feet might have something to do with it, but most of it is from the friction of the tires and rolling resistance. Read your owners manual, they have been stating that for many generations.

I have a few cars and I know the humidity is really low here but only the RSX shocks the crap out of me. So loud that the person on the other side can hear and see the blue spark.

My 2k2 civic coupe has shocked me since day one, every time and I don't care I just live with it. I don't plan on having this car past 2006 anyway. The $30K family is looking better everyday. By then there will be a 2nd generation S2000 with my name on it!

and clean the carpet , dust seems to make static electricity more prevelant , also try scotchguard on the carpet , I've heard this helps.
