I recently helped my sister and her family move out of her house. Many family members showed up to help. I love my family, but my goodness, must they be woefully prepared for everything? My work gloves that I brought were the only work gloves around. My sister's house had no gloves anywhere, and nobody brought any. To be fair, the main reason I remembered to bring gloves was because I workout daily with them, and so protecting my hands is naturally on my mind.

Luckily, my gloves were dirty and nasty looking, and people lost interest in my gloves after a few seconds. They are actually high-quality deer skin gloves. Man, did they come in handy that day. I sliced a glove with my knife (another thing nobody else had). It was a good thing it was the glove and not my hand.

Bottom line, if you carry gloves, I recommend high quality gloves that look dirty and nasty.
