Dad always taught me to put the wrench in my back pocket after I take the drain plug out and put it away only after I have used it to once again tighten the plug.
As for Mr. GF's problem, that definitely sounds like a gasket didn't seal or something was left loose. As Larry said, oil won't run out of a rear main unless something else very catastrophic has happened.
