ITT we vent about shitty undergrads in our lab

Things the premed undergrads have said to me while in the third year of my PhD:

>Isn't there an app for this
While using Keyence software to touch up some images...Dumb fuck didn't understand that this was the app.

>This microscope isn't working I can't zoom out
4.0 premed student who was bragging about how she got a perfect score on every microbiology test and lab test.

>Premed undergrad uses buffer with big chunk of mold floating in it
To be fair this is partially my fault for not throwing the buffer out, but common sense would suggest not using a buffer with a hairy black mass floating in it.

>Using a protein mini gel to genotype some mouse clippings
I made a very detailed protocol book for the undergrads to use with pictures. Yet some how they still fuck up something so simple.

>Never autoclaves trash, just tells me it's full.
I have taught everyone of them how to do this, there is instructions in the lab next to the satellite accumulation area. Shit like this is why I treat them like toddlers.
