Made a really cool noise though

It really was classic [redacted], he was a fucking nightmare. Kept trying to kill the entire floor with phosgene. You’d walk into the lab, there’d be a smell of cut grass, and you’d ask "[redacted], are you doing your phosgene stuff today?, he’d say “haha yeah” and you’d take the rest of the day off because it’s just not fucking worth the risk.

Made a fucking wicked Lego castle, with a working drawbridge and portculis. I was so proud of it that I took it downstairs to show my mum, but I dropped it and it broke into many, many pieces. I sat on the stairs and cried for ages.

32, I was.

A courgette that was past it’s best. It kind of exploded as it hit the (carpeted) floor.

This has reminded me of when a friend and I went to Lidl, and he kept going on beforehand about how bullshit it was that they charged for carrier bags (this being before the 5p charge across the board). He’s a bit of a Tory bellend like that.
Made a big show of grabbing a Sainsbury’s bag before we left and taking it with him. Got to the till after me, and when asked if he needed one, triumphantly declared “no thank you”, dramatically produced the bag from his pocket, opened it out with a flourish, and proceed to pack it, pay, turn to walk away, and watch everything come tumbling out of the hole in the bottom. A bottle of pasta sauce smashed and went all over his foot. I had to leave the store.
He appeared a couple of minutes later with his things in a Lidl bag.

because your white cotton glove privileges got revoked immediately and you were demoted to desk work I assume?

If I’m spending anything more than 50 sheets on a book, you’ll put the fucking gloves on, butterfingers!

Good - maybe you’ll be less cocky and more careful.

You and me could probably do a whole thread of ‘stupid things you’ve done in a lab’

Gonna rock up at your shop and insist you wear the gloves. Then ask if you have the kindle version.

Probably not the worst but on my first day at Iceland I dropped a four pack of own brand lemonade from quite a height, and watched it bounce an inexplicable amount of times before a quadruple explosion directly beneath the spread legs of an elderly man.
