Lug nut sins

Forgive me fathers for I too, have committed this sin.
I once had a minivan on stands with a 4 wheel removal project, put the wheels on thinking I would remember to tighten them up after dropping it down, then forgot after dropping it. I drove it to work the next day for testing, then realized it was awful wobbly after about 20 miles. I pulled over to find almost every wheel was not tightened and ready to fall off
