About 10 years ago I used to drive a '63 Buick Riviera as my daily driver. It had the reverse lug nuts on one side. A tire went low once, so I pulled into a tire store/garage to have them remove the tire and check it. A young hot shot mechanic in the back was assigned to take the tire off.

His air wrench would not get them off. He even dialed up the pressure and tried a few other air wrenches. All he was doing was tightening those lug nuts. I kept my mouth shut, I thought it was so funny. Finally, after about 15 minutes, an older mechanic with grime under his nails and rough hands came over and shook his head at the vocational school grad, flipped the reverse switch on his wrench, handed it back to the kid and said "Try again." The lug nuts came right off. By the grin on the senior mechanic's face, he was thoroughly amused.
