I help people in HD and Lowe's all the time. The other day a lady couldn't understand why a nut wouldn't screw onto her bolt more than about a turn. I explained to her that one was fine thread and the other was coarse thread. She had never heard of such a thing before.

The "pointy bolts" comment, coming from a GUY, was a bit over the line for me. I thought guys were born with this knowledge or at least have to know it to get a card certifying you as a guy.
