Household Static

Still shock free!!!!! And my equipment smells good. To bad it doesn't work on cat litter. The cat smells nice IMO?? Static free too. Dryer sheets have many uses other than for clothes and dorm rooms.
Interesting point on shoes. Plastic shoes....Crocs and Mozo chef shoes I often wear at home since they are so comfortable. But contribute to static.
Somewhere I read that electrical outlets on the same grid or chain as audio can also cause static and hum. Is that true? What about sharing outlets when used with both systems- modern and vintage- digital and analog- silver and black- disk and tape- solid and tube,etc?
Near the 405.
I love the soup remedy story!!!! I got to tell my mom about that.

You are confusing static electricity with other forms of electrical aberration.
In the instances referred to in the OP as static electricity is the result of extra stray electrical energy accumulating (not being readily dissipated) in some medium i.e. air.
Electrical energy will tend to seek neutrality and if not slowly wicked off, will discharge when a certain potential is reached.
Air containing moisture (humidity) will tend to wick electrical energy to a neutral point more easily than dry air; hence the "pop/spark" when an accumulation of energy reaches critical potential.
