Because of static electricity discharge. Nylon is a good electrical insulator, thus the static electric which accrues at your body does not flow to ground. When you touch a metal thing which is connected to the ground, difference of electrical charge makes a static electric discharge. this makes you feel like shocked.
may this help you

boostevens2: Thank you!
