If touching the kitchen sink won't ground you then what are common objects you can ground yourself with because I can't find anything

Huh? You touch the case. Put the PSU in, switch it off, plug it in. Every time you brush against the case or handle it you will ground yourself. No need to build it in the kitchen sink.

unksol is provided the most reasonable answer to your question.

Any "large" metal object will typically de-static your body. Anything you would touch that could give you a static shock if you have been rubbing your feet on carpet.

Your case is grounded once the PSU is mounted and plugged into the wall (keep the switch on the back in 'off' until you are done installing components and plugging in cables) as mentioned by unksol.
