The significance is that I always need larg to Xtra Large latex gloves when I work in a kitchen or somewhere, and in joints like that everybody only buys medium and small gloves because they hate me, and it's just hell. Luckily, mechanics have big hands so at least there's plenty of fitting gloves around when I do that kind of work. But, at the end of the day, really, I'd rather have grease on my hands (Since it's all over the rest of me anyway), then have to constantly be at the sink washing my hands in a kitchen.
(SPOILER)Actually, I hate gloves. Not only because they don't fit. And I would much rather wash my hands a lot then wear gloves, now that I think about it. Big hands are a wonderful excuse to have free hands
