More rotation and my fingernail was not moving axially. Somehow, this
10' length of all-thread had a wee little mishap in the thread roller
and it rolled a nice series of groves - no helix at all. Impressive, and
good quality control.

I spent close to half an hour once running 1 1/4" pipe that just would not connect to the
next one in the string. Long lengths of pipe are shipped with a coupler on one end so you
can just put them up.

Finally, I take the coupler off on the far end of the pipe with the idea of chasing it
since there may be a burr. Looking down the hole, I saw left and right hand threads.
Someone had to have had a strange sense of humor to pull that chit.

Where would a left hand right hand coupler ever be used? If it hadn't happened to me, I'd
call bullchit on this.
