The Bell Curve Of Chemical Vendettas

Every chemistry student has that one chemical they've sworn eternal vengeance against. Mine was mercury(II) chloride—the sadistic compound that ruined my entire semester of analytical chemistry. The bell curve of chemical hatred is real, folks. While 68% of reasonable scientists maintain professional neutrality toward chemicals, there's always that stubborn 14% on each tail who've written strongly-worded letters to specific molecules. As if benzaldehyde could read your angry emails. Spoiler alert: the chemicals don't care about your feelings, and they'll continue to ruin your experiments regardless of how many times you curse their molecular structure.
