    Hahaha nahh the carpet is stapled in and doesn’t slide, but the carpet is slippery. Also no shoes indoors, so socks are extra slippery.

      From what we know, carpets tend to create static electricity when rubbed, which might happen in situations where it is tread upon, which causes it to get charged. We also know, that since the materials used for carpets are bad conductors of electricity, having them stapled at only certain points won’t cause a significant grounding effect.

      Now to design socks that use said static charge to electrocute the wearer hold onto the carpet better, reducing slippage.
