Does your charger have 3 pins or 2? It could be a grounding issue (which has gone on forever). Or you have carpets and plastic shoes? You are the problem. It is not dangerous, just annoying to those who sense it.

Ah yes it is a 2 pin...ungrounded. Is there a way I can ground myself/and-or my laptop? I just had achilles tendon surgery so I can't really touch grass, so to speak proverbially (or literally?).
Dang. Hope the recovery goes well. I snapped an achilles during covid. All good now though. As to grounding, apple sell extension cables for duckhead chargers, that are/were 3 pin grounded.
