"You're doing it wrong"Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

I had a friendin the first year of my degree who was on exchange from the US, on the pre-med programme. She was doing an organic chemistry course and in one lab she had to use a condenser. For those of you that aren't chemists, it's basically a glass tube inside another glass tube and water is allowed to flow through the outer tube in order to cool in the inner tube. Seemples. However, my friend connected both tubes on either end of the outer tube to a tap each and turned both taps on. And then wondered why it shot across the lab, spraying water everywhere. She did this two more times before realising her mistake.
She's now at medical school in the US :S
