What do you do with the spare washing up glove when the other one breaks?

We have a large collection of left-hand washing up gloves as the right one always breaks first, presumably because we're both right-handed. I don't like to bin the left hand glove as it's still usable and seems a waste, so I keep them.
Sometimes I use a left-hand glove on my right hand to use them up. MIL says she turns a left-hand one inside out to use on her right hand. I've often thought that it would be helpful if a pack of gloves came with a spare right-hand gloves, or if you could buy single gloves. Are we the only people who have this problem?

YABU - just bin it like a normal person
YANBU - shops should sell spares!

Ah, I always binned them. The right index finger always springs a leak for me.
I now buy more expensive ones.

I think you need to share a picture of this!

In not the poster who suggested this, but it is something we have done

I only use the right hand gloves so I have loads of unused left ones. Never occurred to me to turn them inside out! I may have a lifetime supply! 🤣
