The Sign That Shouldn't Need To Exist
When your lab needs to explicitly tell students not to use their mouths as human vacuum pumps! The fact this sign exists means someone absolutely tried the forbidden lab technique of mouth pipetting—a horrifying relic from ye olde scientific days when researchers would literally suck up chemicals using their mouth to create suction. Nothing says "I trust my lab skills" like risking a mouthful of hydrochloric acid! The desperate PI who put up this sign has definitely witnessed some questionable life choices from first-year students who skipped safety day. And now we all know which university still has students attempting vintage 1920s lab techniques!

Chemistry: Where Intelligence Meets Safety Hazards
Someone set up their experiment with a stirring rod balanced precariously between beakers like a chemical tightrope walker! This is the lab equivalent of leaving a banana peel at the top of the stairs. That glass rod is one small bump away from creating a new chemical reaction called "budget depletion" and "advisor disappointment." Every chemist knows the universal lab rule: gravity always wins, especially when glassware is involved!

When Autocorrect Reveals Your Mad Scientist Side
That moment when your mechanical engineering friend's autocorrect reveals their true lab horrors! What they MEANT was "My brothers in Christ we cooked a CULTURE in an autoclave" but their phone had other ideas. Sterilizing equipment: normal science procedure. Sterilizing someone's pet: straight to lab safety jail! This is why you should never text while your hands are still covered in agar!
