Co-worker?

You see, I sniffle if I do not wear socks. For real. I have tried recently- spent the whole day sniffling. And hosiery does get uncomfortable

My boss found the comment stupid. We dug up the dress code- nothing about socks. The only rules regarding shoes were: no open-back shoes for page/delivery positions (however, many librarians and assistants do wear them), no beach sandals (alias flip-flops, a couple years ago some people did get into trouble for wearing them), and no bedroom slippers (although some of the mules that some people have worn do resemble slippers very much). And at another branch, people could not wear open-toed shoes either. That, and other librarians have worn Mary Janes and/or socks as well- including sandals with socks.

Someone did get sent home once due to a dress code violation- but she was wearing a midriff-baring shirt.
