Today, I was handling corrosive chemicals when I accidentally spilled a beaker of Hydrochloric Acid on myself. I had to strip naked and use the emergency shower with my boss and my hot coworker watching. The worst part was when I realized my coworker was laughing at the size of my penis. FML

Yeah, women just don't understand shrinkage.

You have a pretty valid complaint to make to HR. Of course, you then have to keep reliving the humiliation but that was pretty unprofessional on her part. (You may also have misinterpretted her laughter. Was it from nervousness? Some people do that. )

Honey, if she laughed at you during an emergency, she really isn'r the kind of person you would want to know any way. She might look hot, but she has an ugly soul. No one worth knowing would laugh at someone in pain or danger. you deserve better. And remember: it's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it that counts.

Picture? Haha! Just kidding. Don't let an immature co-worker get you down. As other people are saying, she might have not been laughing about it being small. Unless she specifically said something about you having a small dick, you don't need to worry. It could have been the fact that it was insanely HUGE or she was just laughing that you spilled it on yourself. Anyway, next time she bends down, look at her boobs and laugh. Being a girl myself, I know that would hurt a lot of my friends. Again, don't worry about it. :)

Why were you handling HCL without proper clothing? Dumbass. And yeah.... all of your coworkers were laughing, hot or not, male and female.

I know that when you handle HCl in university labs, it doesn't matter what clothes you wore, if you spilled it on yourself, you stripped and showered. Its a safety procaution.

Were you working with a really high molar HCl? I used HCl in basic chemistry labs to like...10 molar maybe? which is quite concentrated and they (stupidly) didn't even advise kids to use gloves (I voluntarily did). I mean I guess I could see this if you were handling a large beaker full just to get it off you quickly but otherwise for HCl I'm not sure I buy it.

Are you sure you read the label right? They don't use 10M HCl in "basic chemistry class"; it's probably 0.10M. They barely even let you use 1.0M HCl. If you actually paid attention in your chemistry class, you might realize that the pH of a 10M HCl is -1. Get your facts straight before you criticize an FML.

It might've been a basic chem course in college... I mean, I don't know what sort of molarities they use in college labs, but they're probably higher than high school ones, and we definitely used 1.0 molar HCl in my high school lab. And for the record (not to you, 61), accidents DO happen. My chem teacher has a doctorate in inorganic chemistry. She spilled perchloric acid on her hand once. Still has a scar.

it was a basic chem course in college, it was for a qualitative analysis experiment all of the acids and bases were high molarity for it. I could see 17 molar HCl being pretty caustic though.

woo goodness you like to jump down people's throats don't you. it was a college chemistry class. it was 10 molar, it was for qualitative analysis.

I have used 7.0M in high school chem class, maybe your school just sucks.

Concentrated HCl is only 12M so you can't get 17M. If I spilled a beaker worth of that on my clothes, I would definitely hop in the shower (assuming we're not talking the lil 60 ml beakers). Although OP should have had a lab coat on to avoid this situation, I have a hard time saying YDI. OP does have a good harassment claim against the girl b/c she shouldn't have been laughing. She should be required to be retrained b/c anyone who works in a lab knows it is a potentially serious situation if someone goes for the shower. She shouldn't be laughing at someone in an emergency/injury, and esp for opposite sex convention dictates that you 1) leave the lab if you can or 2) do not look if you can't leave the lab (for the safety of whatever experiment you're running). People have been sued over this so she needs to learn the right thing to do.

At least it wasn't hydrofluoric acid... That shit will kill you. Seriously.

She sounds like a bitch. You could have been injured, yet all she could do is look at your penis and laugh? She could have at least have been a little mature, and excused her self so she could laugh out side if she couldn't hold it in.
