Ok, this is way weird. I just was going to replace a toilet flapper.
I went to turn the shut off valve, and got zapped, big time!

But, you didn't answer any of the questions. You are not just
messing with us, are you?

Okay, I see that you did answer the questions better elsewhere -- you get a
constant buzz feeling when touching the fixture/valve/etc., and there is no
carpeting etc.

So, I guess you are not "just messing with us".

I assume that the electrician will look for grounding issues to make sure
all of the plumbing is grounded -- jumpers across the hot water heater,
across the water meter, no loose clamps where a grounding wire is connected
to any plumbing, maybe the presence of PVC or PEX plumbing that may be
interrupting the plumbing fixtures from being grounded.

And, after that, trying to find where the source of current is coming from
that is apparently leaking to the valves etc. that are causing you to feel a
current/shock when you touch it.

Let us know what you find out.
