And how many people wear the static wrist band when handing electric parts?

All those who want their equipment to last.

Or, if they're like me, if no anti-static wrist band handy, they grab a grounded surface such as the metal case of a PC (if working on it) or the ground lines of the non-powered circuit card, and hold onto it, to keep the charges equalized.
