I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

A friend of mine’s dad was dreadfully afraid of all things plumbing, but somehow managed to break the spigot for his bath tub. He managed to get the broken one off and then proceeded to crossthread the new one all the way on with a large adjustable wrench. When he was done, the spigot was facing upwards and it stayed that way for decades until the house got torn down.

He forgot the part where you cut of the water and then release pressure in a controlled manner.
