Tenous link to flying gloves (although he always wore a pristine pair of white ones) but in the mid-90s there was a C-130 Captain who refused to lift or carry anything, including his own bag, because - as he put it - "My hands are my livelihood and I can't damage them".
As if this didn't make him sound a bit of a tit on its own, when we asked if he made his missus lug all the grocery shopping around on her own he mumbled something pathetic along the lines of his unwillingness to lift anything only meant on or around the aircraft.
Couldn't possibly let slip the name of the fella though, that would be indiscreet...
