Classic case of back peddling - was serious to begin but realised the mistake so it turns to a wind up!
There are newbies that think they can do socket screws up with impacts or electric screwdrivers, I had to convince a new mate that doing it that way was asking for trouble. You need to feel the screw in the thread, knowing when it feels good or bad, when it cross threads and when you need to start it all over again. Of course using an impact makes it very difficult to leave the slots at 3 and 9 o’clock - let the battle begin!

Slots are supposed to be vertical, so water doesn’t collect in them.

Horizontal so it looks like they are smiling at you - happy sockets!
@Dave OCD HELP!

When I went on myfirst job with my last outfit about 1991, the job wasn't difficult, just different, I was fitting some switches in a length of 4 by 2 PVC trunking, I could feel the team leader looking over my shoulder, an d he said " so and so doesn't fit the screws like that" I had just done the screws up as and when they became tight, to cut the story short this bloke had a thing about leaving theslots veryical. So to please him and to make a point I left them at an angle of 45deg, he wasn't a happy chappy, but soon learnt not to be so picky.
