When one touches it, a charge is developed - then when it comes in
contact with a fully conducting surface, damage can occur. If instead
you are working on a proper anti-static mat, the charge from your body
and the part is dissipated slowly, no damage will be done and everything
will be at the same potential.

That would mean the part was charged. How would that happen?
