Why Does This Happen?
When you maybe reach out to take something from somebody you ever feel what I can only describe as an electric shock? If so why does that happen?

The majority of the responses here are leaning towards static electricity. So here's another plausible explanation.
When swelling happens inside your hands or wrist, it compresses your nerves, distorting your sensations in your fingers. One of the symptoms is a feeling similar to an electric shock.

@Thandeka Keeping the arms in the same position for an extended period of time. Those who work in front of a computer may overstretch particular muscles in the palms and wrists, resulting in swelling. Pregnancy, drug side effects, and other factors can all contribute to this.
The point is that such swelling might generate a shock-like sensation in the fingertips.
