I ordered a strap but it is taking ages to come, I saw people saying that touching any sort of metal object should ground you. Would you consider that wrong?

It isn't wrong, but static can build up in no time, for example from an act as simple as rolling a few inches in an office-type chair. Remember, it only takes 30V to cause damage, but you won't feel it until it's more like 300V.
