My grandfather used to say to me "all those books and all you do is eat the pages." He would usually say it after I would overthink something ridiculously simple, like righty tighty lefty loosey. He thought it was good that I went to college, but he would always emphasize that knowing and doing are two different things.
- tonyarkles 11y agoFunny enough, I perpetually use the right-hand-curl rule before tightening or loosening a screw. Point my thumb in the direction I want the part to move, and rotate the tool in whatever direction my fingers point. I get made fun of for it occasionally, but I haven't accidentally tightened something I planned on loosening in a really long time. Thanks electrical engineering and magnetic field/current interactions! You've prevented me from breaking bolts and stripping screws!
