The fact that the lab techs always have a pipette in hand doesn't give me the same reaction as you...but it's when they actually show the techs using the pipette that I cringe.
I swear, at least half the time I see it, the pipette skills are mediocre! Either they are using the same tip for multiple samples, or they are sucking more air into the pipette than the actual sample. Come on, did these people not even take Chemistry in high school?
