I remember in high school we had to wash beakers with sulfuric acid to make sure there weren’t any traces of heavy metals left.
So proud.

At my high school, teachers always said that there’s a biological hazard in the lab (they used the same lab for chemistry, physics, and biology), hence no laboratory class/experience. But that exact lab/room was available and used for teaching classes such as math, history, etc.

You mean they spilled something and were too scared to clean it up??

Was that their subtle way of saying children are dangerous?

Those are much cooler dishes.
Or, some times hotter. IDK. (Maybe I should check this before washing them.)

Yeah but I bet you didn’t wash dishes with DI water at home now did you!

lethal dishes

Yes and subject my hands to the harshness of not just soap solution but also acetone, sometimes pet ether or even chloroform, not once, not twice, but several times in a day, every day.

My previous coworker (I could write a book on the shitty lab practices she exhibited on a daily basis) would shake out the glassware and hang it to dry. She didn’t understand that I could actually see the discoloration from previous tests. My bosses gave no shits, I did extra dishes, I gtfo at first opportunity.
