Is it a crime to wear socks on the beach?  TikToker Arte Blythe thinks so, and she's racked up hundreds of thousands of views on her recent post of her American boyfriend with his toes (in his socks) in the sand.

But is it so bad?! Aren't there worse crimes to be punished for? I think so. So, I've compiled a small list of things that are worse than socks on the beach, and even some helpful tips about sock-wearing (i.e. when and where they're most appropriate and advantageous to your health).

It's not as bad as Socks & Sandals, right?

Socks can help you sleep!

A New Jersey borough celebrated its centennial by collecting 38,743 pairs of socks in a single day, breaking a Guinness World Record.

The Paramus Centennial Committee organized the sock donation drive Monday, the 100th anniversary of the borough's founding, and ended up breaking the Guinness record for most socks collected in eight hours.

Donna Perkosky, co-chair of the Paramus Centennial Committee, said the number to beat was 37,556, which was set in Colorado in 2019, and the Paramus successfully captured the record by collecting 38,743 pairs.

The centennial committee said the collected socks will be donated to local charities including Paramus Friendly Neighbors, Greater Bergen Community Action, Center for Hope and Safety, Eva's Village and CUMAC. Officials said some of the socks might also be donated to Ukrainian refugees.

Look at all these socks!

If I were this guy I'd never take my shoes off again!
