When faced with the choice between proper lab cleanup and taking the easy way out, undergrads will always choose chaos. Acetone? That's the magical solvent that cleans everything from glassware to your will to live after a 6-hour lab. But why spend 5 minutes properly cleaning when you can spend 3 hours dealing with the consequences later? Just like in Uno, we'd rather draw 25 cards than face our responsibilities. Pro tip: your PI can smell your acetone-free glassware from three buildings away. They have evolved this ability specifically to torment you.

Chemists would rather draw 25 UNO cards than use the imperial system! The metric system is basically a chemist's love language - precise, logical, and beautifully base-10. Asking a chemist to use Fahrenheit, pounds, and ounces is like asking a fish to climb a tree! They'd sooner memorize the entire periodic table (which many already have) than convert between 16 ounces in a pound and whatever bizarre fraction of inches makes up a foot. The SI units are just too perfect with their elegant prefixes and sensible conversions. No self-respecting chemist is going to measure reaction temperatures in °F when Kelvin and Celsius are right there waiting with their arms wide open!

Oils looking at the UNO card that says "Break hydrogen bonds between water molecules OR draw 25" and choosing to collect the entire deck instead. Classic hydrophobic behavior. These nonpolar molecules would rather accumulate an absurd number of cards than interact with water. It's basically the molecular equivalent of saying "I'd rather die" when asked to make small talk at a department mixer.
