You have obviously not been knocked on your but by a capacitor
that is totally disconnected from the circuit and in storage.
There is a reason that high capacity devices are shipped and
stored with a shorting wire across the terminals. They will
spontaneously charge!
If you don't believe it, get a multi KV 1000 uF oil filled cap
and leave it set on the floor for a year or two then grab the
terminals (don't do this at home and without medical help in
attendance).
