Oh man, never skipping them. Your knees will thank you at the end of the day, trust me. The regret of not wearing them is way worse than the bulk.

My buddy learned this the hard way last summer. He was doing some floor tiling and decided his knee pads were too annoying to wear. By lunchtime, he had bruised knees and had to stop early. From what I've seen, finding a slim pair that stays put makes a big change, but skipping them is never worth it. Your mileage may vary, but I'd take a little bulk over pain any day.

Actually, about the bulk thing, I get what you mean, but it's not always that simple. If knee pads are too bulky, they can mess with your balance or even cause you to trip. I've seen people skip them because the wrong kind makes working harder, not easier. The key is finding ones that are low profile but still protective. So yeah, wear them, but make sure they're the right fit for what you're doing. Otherwise, you might end up with different problems, lol.
