Agreed. Once you've done it enough it surely becomes so automatic you can even do it after two beers. :beer:

Some day I'm going to get an old crank arm and try this. I want to see how hard you have to wrench on it.

It is incomprehensible to me that you can do this and not realize you're forking it up.

It was because it wasn't me that did it, it was the kid. I did not properly supervise him, or even check his work.

I realize that, but how can anybody successfully fully tighten reverse threaded pedals in a forward threaded hole?

I can easily tell if I have something cross threaded that is a clockwise bolt in a clockwise hole.

Your snark isn't very good. It's too overpowering to be entertaining and not subtle enough to show proper refinement. You're not going to make it here on BF.
