You know you've worked too long in a lab when

Although half the gems in this group are probably wasted on uninformed outsiders like myself, it still makes fascinating reading and, it is sort of a relief that there is a virtual place out there where scientists can let their white coats down and share some fun facts and experiences only fellow scientists can truly appreciate. Threads include 'Best lab smell', 'worst smelling substance', 'Scariest chemical', 'Best colo(u)rs in the lab', 'Scariest Item of Lab Equipment?' and 'worst lab specimen (OR..things that make you go BLARP!)'. When it comes to fellow lab workers, there are discussions on 'What's your pet peeve in the lab?', 'It's easy to spot someone whos new in the lab
because......' and 'What bugs you the most about patients who are having blood drawn?' Wall posts offer possible answers to the question posed in the group name.

What's great about this group: It shows the fun side of science.

Update (29 April 2024)
This group still exists and has remained on topic (well done!). Go here to visit or join.
