Because the electrons are tiny and invisible, that's why.  

But they're there!

No worries in the ET though.  It's all open, so there's no place for the 
electrons to puddle.  They just roll off and sink harmlessly into the 
ground.

In your car it's all OK too, because as soon as you go down the road, all 
the accumulated electrons from the open switches flow out through the tiny 
holes in the body seams, and again sink harmlessly into the ground.  

When they build up in the ground too much, nature takes care of the 
problem 
by having a thunderstorm to suck them back up to the sky.

It's also not necessary to keep plugs in every unused receptacle in your 
house, though some very cautious people do this.  Not only do the 
electrons 
slip right through the pores of the carpet and between the floorboards, 
remember that AC reverses direction 60 times a second.  So it's always 
sucking most of the electrons right back into the receptacles, before they 
can even fall to the floor.
