What should i do as i wait for unicycle?

It's common to get backwards parts on a unicycle, not only from a bike
shop but sometimes even in the box from the manufacturer. Usually what's
in the box isn't backward, though occasionally I think frames can be.

Bike shops do not do this on purpose. At least not if they plan on
having long-term customers. Since a bike shop is a service-oriented
business, they must rely on happy customers to stay a healthy
business.

The problem at many bike shops is that the duty of assembling the
unicycles falls to the lowliest assembler (least skilled & experienced
employee) because it's assumed to be a no-brainer.

However, this doesn't excuse the bike shop from not inspecting their own
work. If they sell it, they should know how to assemble it (even if the
instructions that come, or don't come, with the uni aren't any help). If
the wheel was backwards, and the threads you described are the ones the
pedals screw into, this was the work of the bike shop for giving you a
backwards unicycle.

They would know better, but since it's basically impossible to ride a
bike with the pedals on the wrong sides, they don't realize how much
damage this can do. Don't pay for the repair.

What to do for five days? Ride your other unicycle. No other unicycle?
Start saving up (for next time)! Meanwhile, maybe read? Or write
articles for On One Wheel.
