Its weird. I have a dozen pair of gloves but only the left ones.
Has anyone else had this where they consistently lose either just the right or left glove?
Are you right handed? That’s the one that gets removed if needed and put aside.
I am left-handed, and I lose left gloves. My theory: I’m more likely to remove just the left glove to do something the glove makes awkward and then misplace or drop it.
Edit: Ninja’d by running coach!
This might happen when buying gas and fiddling with credit cards. I put my glove on the car roof at this stage.
Of course you only lose the right glove. That way you only have one left.
I collect photographs of lost gloves - of the gloves I have found (thousands of them) that have explicit handedness (i.e. not disposable latex gloves), there wasn’t a significant swing to either left or right.
So I’m going to say it’s one of two things:
Statistical bias from your small sample size
or
(if you have lost a large enough sample to be sure there’s a right-hand preference) you have a unique talent at losing gloves, specifically, right-handed gloves (I mean, how many gloves does one person lose, reasonably?)
Just make do with the wrong gloves.
Smack. Bad boy!
Sew one end of woolen strings to your gloves and the other end to your coat sleeves.
But if your glove has no forefinger, it has four fingers.
that is a bad idea.
a better idea is to join the two gloves on a long yarn that goes through the sleeves. that way you can use the gloves with multiple coats.
Now all I have to do is find a mother to sew Kenny M labels onto my coats.
I have a similar problem.
I only lose left socks.
If you use the Meathead’s method of taking off a sock and a shoe and a sock and a shoe, and stuffing each sock into its respective shoe, that wouldn’t happen.
And you wouldn’t be tempted to overwash them.
Ask OJ Simpson and Mark Fuhrman.
This doesn’t really fit the thread.
Sure it does. Somehow a murderer took off a blood soaked glove and decided to wear the other blood soaked glove during the entire Bronco drive home from the crime scene. He then inexplicably decided to drop the second glove in the open behind his house rather than hiding the evidence somewhere.
Why did he do this? Act of an irrational, guilty man or evidence planted by a racist cop? Who knows, but it’s an example of just 1 glove being lost.
Do you perhaps hear a faint whooshing sound?
I was going to suggest Michael Jackson.
