Lefty loosey / Righty tighty

[fasteddie]

When I finished sitting for 6 hours hoping for a Tom turkey , I stopped up to my SIL's house to help with a couple projects . She had a friend trying to remove the filter for the hydraulic fluid on her Bobcat tractor and he had a huge set of channel lock pliers and couldn't get it loose so my SIL asked me to give it a try . It was really on there hard . As I was trying to turn it my SIL told me I was turning it the wrong way . I told her lefty loosey / righty tighty and she kept yapping that I was trying to turn it the wrong way . I was laying on the ground looking up at the filter and she was standing up looking down at it .

Then she told her friend that I might be right . I said might be right yer butt , I am right ! I got it loose and removed it .

She had her friend convinced that it should be turned the other way ( clockwise for his view) and that's why the damned thing was on so snug !

I had told them that some guys used to punch a hole in the filter with a screwdriver and turn the filter that way . Her friend said that they were considering doing that just before I arrived .

She had a difficult time admitting that she was wrong !

Kinda bored so I thought I would post this gem ............
