Default Anyone's nuts ever fall off?

I got back from riding today and started washing off my wheeler, when i noticed there is one lug nut missing on one wheel and 2 missing on another. I was sure I tightened the lugnuts plenty tight when i installed the new ITP wheels. I even tightened apposing nuts when puting them on and went back repeatedly to make sure they were all tight in the end.

Has anyone else lost their nuts before?

Oh yeah, and the braket for my winch control broke too, just from too much vibration I guess, or really crappy bolts.

My wife once got mad and overtightened one of my nuts, stripped it and it fell off.

As for your wheel nuts falling off.......When you installed the new wheels or tires, were your studs too short?..........Caper...........

got your attention, but seriously, has this happened to anyone else and do you think lock-tight would help?

I have more nut on the way encase I have trouble holding onto them in the future.
