Case File #ZTS-001: A most egregious example of the dangers of unchecked sock enthusiasm.
Jane, a 35-year-old marketing specialist, became increasingly obsessed with her sock collection. She amassed over 500 pairs, each one meticulously curated and lovingly paired with matching tea sets.

Her loved ones grew concerned as Jane's behavior became more erratic. She would wake up in the middle of the night, frantically searching for missing socks, and would often be heard arguing with "her" sock puppets, a cast of characters including "Steve the Sock Puppeteer" and "Socky McSockface."
