Just me or anyone else drive away from a job and worry if you tightened all the nuts?

I never leave stuff just always get the feeling I want to go back and double check everything even though I know I’ve tested properlyI alway seem to leave something. Manometer, Hat, FGA charger, the list goes on....
I trust my gut.I never leave stuff just always get the feeling I want to go back and double check everything even though I know I’ve tested properly
Nice to know it’s not just me, I’ve done the exact same thing.Yep, years ago I use to fit boilers on the warmfront scheme and did a lovely conversion in York. We finished and left the property about 7pm, when we got to Doncaster I had this horrible feeling that I left the test nipple out on the meter, my paranoia got the best of me, so we drove back and the fecker was in and all tight.
Ahhhh
I should as I know I always test probably, confidence comes with time I guess.I trust my gut.
For locking things I say to myself (but out loud) something like "It's Tuesday and I've locked the door" immediately after I've done it. It's the saying it out loud that seems to fix the memory for me. It's important to include the day for obvious reasons.
Glad it’s not just me.Once I just settled in bed and had an alarming thought of did I close p2 on the gas valve. Did not remember doing it up. Phoned customer at 11pm and explained. Went to his house and....I had closed it. He was actually happy I went back and recommended me to his mother. I would not have been able to sleep if I had not gone back.
plenty of times ....worst one was 40 mile each way in darkest somerset, get back, hmm did I put the nipple back in the gas meter ? after drop test, return, ...hello mrs 'i left my wallet in the understairs cupboard ' it was okJust me or anyone else drive away from a job and worry if you tightened all the nuts?
