Looking at it straight on, you're turning it to your left to tighten. if you lay on your back and look "into" the faucet hole, THEN it's turning right.

Gray Beard Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Loose Lose That’s probably the only one of the similarly spelled word pairs that causes me to stop and think. I sometimes get loosen versus tighten mixed up if I’m flustered or angry, or if it’s at an awkward orientation, such as reaching under a sink. I have to stop and think when using a pipe wrench. One direction it grabs, the other direction it doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Every morning I put left over coffee in the microwave. I was always irritated and confuse because when it times out it is always at the back of the microwave with the handle turned out, the most difficult way to retrieve it. What are the odds? Finally, I figured it out. I put the cup in the same way every day, and select the same time setting. Since it rotates at the same rpm, and I set the same time, it simply has to end up in the same place. Now......I select four seconds longer. I have defeated my microwave. Life is made up of consistent small wins. Now the Miami Intl airport elevator is a different problem. If has three floors. Presumably, one third of the time you select it, it should be at your floor and the door open immediately. It is never at your floor, no matter which floor you are on, and I have done this thousands of times. I have given up trying to figure it out. Miami is just a hateful place to be avoided. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
