Why does this person wear his rings OVER the gloves?
Apparently it's a semi common thing for jewelry store workers to do.
I'm guessing the gloves are to avoid getting oils onto the metal, so there's no particular reason not to also wear jewellery over then.
Is the downvote because I'm wrong?
No, some people just do contentious things without any real purpose.
