If they are PVC then they store a great amount of static electricity especially when very dry.It could be charged by you cleaning the gutter with your shirtsleeve and then discharged when you touched it. If they are metal gutters check any wiring like phone wires or any house wiring insulation near gutters. Fit an RCD anyway to your circuit breaker box they are life savers.
