The classic chemistry lab expectation vs. reality! What starts as "just a quick liquid-liquid extraction" turns into a four-hour nightmare when those stubborn emulsions form. Any chemist knows the pain of staring hopelessly at that separation funnel, watching two liquids that should neatly separate instead form a stubborn middle layer that refuses to budge. You promised your lab partner a 20-minute adventure, but now you're both trapped in extraction purgatory, questioning your life choices and possibly the laws of physical chemistry. The separation funnel has become your personal time-sucking portal to frustration.
