TIL my old habit of just twisting wire nuts on by hand was fine until a ceiling fan in a Tucson attic last week. The vibration after a month made one pop off and the whole thing started swinging like a disco ball.

Yeah, gotta crank them down tight. Hand tight is fine for a light, but anything with vibration needs the extra turn with pliers. That's how you avoid a surprise light show.

Wire nuts need pliers, not just fingers.
