Where Are All The Right Handed Gloves?


I don’t know where I get it, but I am a scavenger at heart. These days this is especially true when I’m riding my bike back and forth to work. One of the items I regularly find, like once or twice a month, is gloves, especially the kind that are rubberized on the palm side and cloth on the backside.

But i have a question. Ninety-five percent of the time I find left-handed gloves. I don’t think this is an exaggeration. I saw another glove in the road today while driving my bus. I was sure it was a right-handed glove in good shape. But when I went back after work (this time in my truck), I found another left-handed glove, begging the question, where are all the right-handed gloves? Probably in the same place where all the missing socks are at. Either that or other people are looking for right-handed gloves, too, and are getting to the ones in the road before me and leaving the left-handed gloves behind. Miriam thinks it's because people wear out the right handed gloves faster, but then why do those people throw their left-handed gloves out in the road for me to find, knowing I can't resist picking them up? That's just mean.
