This is one of the most perfect uses of this meme I've ever seen

My job keeps ordering damn mediums when the majority of the people in the office wear xl or larger. Those mediums snap on me every damn time.

i laughed too hard at this. it happens far more than it ought to. they feel so thin. i wear medium gloves and even trying to put those on sometimes make me cuss under my breath. god forbid your hands are the slightest wet, it's agonizing.

Ugh, putting nitrile (or vinyl, or p. much any nonporous material) gloves on wet hands is the worst. I have totally wrecked more gloves that way than I would like to admit. And when I get them halfway on and try to do something with the ends of the fingertips flapping off the ends of my actual fingers, the regret is extreme, lol.

We have some baby powder we keep in the lab for if your hands are too sweaty to put on your gloves lol

I'm tiny and I always have to dig in the closet to find the small sizes. :(
