Sorry for spamming, but is it safe to take apart PC on carpet with static strap grounding?

Take your socks off and problem should be solved. Don't put any hardware on the carpet.

I've done it many times with no issue. That said, those have all been in places where I've never been shocked. I wouldn't even consider doing it on carpet in the place I live now. Thick blue lightning bolts shoot from my key as it approaches the lock, and I can't go down the halls without either having a painful shock when I open the fire doors or I'll even get shocked on my arm/shoulder if I round the corner too close to the wall
It's a friggin' nightmare.
