Seeing a mechanic just zipping up a wheel nut grates on me.
I was taught to do the lug nuts up to just a few threads before they are tight. Wiggle the wheel while finger tightening the nuts to make sure they are seated before the final torque. Then take the vehicle for a short drive and re-torque the nuts.
I also re-torque the nuts after someone else has replaced the wheels.
