Twisting it on hot and the nozzle fell to the bed. I thought "huh, guess I was turning it the wrong way..." Nope.

I have a socket and extension I keep by the printer which fits the nozzle. That way I can screw it in by hand while hot, still easily feel if something is binding, and I don't even have to burn off my fingertips.
