    If I ever find that person that is missing a right hand, I am going to string them up.
    My glove supply was getting low. I started cleaning up the workshop today and found 6 right hand glove and 2 left handers. At least I have 2 more pairs.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    I used to have a Black Lab that would snatch a glove as soon as you laid them down. At least with her I knew the glove was in the yard.

    Not so much with gloves but I have a pile of single socks. I know the pairs make it into the hamper but they get lost some where after that. I don’t dare say anything cuz I know what the response will be!

    You should try being a bricklayer. I could have rooms full of right handers if I had saved them all.

    Tig gloves!! The right hand just mainly holds the torch and last a long time. The wrong hand is always moving, holding and flipping stuff and I wear/burn through the stitches.

    Yeah, when I buy bundles of 5 or ten, all the same it always happens.

    I got tired of missing socks and matching them to put them away. I now buy bundles of ten or twelve all the same. Plain white usually. A couple colored/black pair, not white not in common rotation, to go with a suit or tux.

    one always wears out before the other, but I can't turn them inside out to get working pairs

    I thought I was the only one with the glove issue!. Have more lefthand gloves than right. Have no idea how this happens. My dogs take them too.

    My dad always had lots of brand new left hand gloves laying around...but he is missing half his left arm from a farm accident when I was about 1 YO.
    IIRC his old orthopedic doc had a shelf where guys could bring in their "extra" left side/right side gloves etc. to leave for others that need the other side
