Like the ones on acetylene tanks.
There's a damned good reason for that, as I am sure you well know. :nod:

Those exist for special purposes... mostly child safety!
Anyplace a fastener is employed that attaches something that would come loose if a right handed fastener is used, will have a left hand thread. An example would be in marine applications with two (or four) engines. One will spin one way, the other will spin the opposite, to avoid a side force. The bolt holding some of the parts on the crankshaft of the counter rotating engine will be left handed. Also, turnbuckles employ right and left hand threads-
