Thank you, is the metal table not grounded by standing on my carpet? The entire floor is made of carpet so I'm not sure how to attach it.

Attach the table by wire to the ground screw of an electrical outlet.

I meant the metal table. Agree with you about the wooden table.

This misses some basic physics application. The desk is a red herring. Grounding it is not a fix.

Wall outlets, or as we know them over here 'sockets' vary by territory. Some are compulsorily earthed, many are not. It is highly not recommended to play with sockets unless you are qualified. This answer & comments are building towards a potentially dangerous hand waving of 'science'.
