Socks and sandals should break up



It’s happening. It’s happening all around us! The other day I was walking along the street, happily, peacefully, when I saw it. There it was just right in front of me – a man. A man in sandals. A man in sandals WITH socks. 

I mean, why? Why would somebody in their right mind do something like that? It’s just…arrrgh. I admit, however, that it’s acceptable under ONE CONDITION! If having to look at the person’s bare feet would be an even bigger sore for the eyes. Then yes, I’d rather he wore socks in sandals (just hide them away for everybody’s sake). But otherwise NO! A big, fat, bold, firm, enormous, dyed-in-the-wool “NO” to all socks + sandal wearers. 

Well, you know socks are perfectly fine and enjoyable to wear. Sandals, I mean, come on, who wouldn’t love them (everyone has at least one pair sitting in their wardrobe or wherever). But together NEVER! I’m begging you, please, don’t. Just don’t do it, OK? For the preservation of my mental health (and I’m sure of many others, too). :-)
 
Okay, I just wanted to get this off my chest. I’m surely better now… but I mean that guy! Excuse me, but what was he thinking?! He wore ankle-length socks in his sandals. I’m asking: Wait, so that’s ok now? You sincerely thought you’d get away with it? I beg your pardon, but what difference does it make? They’re still socks in sandals…Aaargh… I …ehm…okay, I need calm down. But seriously what was he thinking?!
