Reverse threads on the shifter linkage

So I say to myself, "I'm tired of lifting my whole foot to downshift. I think I'll adjust the linkage so the pedal sits a bit lower." I learned something in this process. I learned that the front of the linkage rod has reverse threads. Too bad I didn't learn this before I tried to loosen it the normal way! I seriously rounded off the corners of the lock nut. So, off I go to the hardware store to get some more. I get a pack of five nuts and head home. Shoot. Remember I said the front threads of the linkage rod were reversed? Well, so is the lock nut. <sigh>
Ok you stupid little reverse thread lock nut, you asked for it. I'll just grind down your flats to the next size smaller and use a different wrench. Hah! That'll teach you to fool with me.
Shifter feels much better now.

Heh, yeah...
I quoted you and pasted it into the Tips and Tricks thread in the Tech Ref forum.
