My favorite is broken shards in the holes in a sink drain. They are
often the result of someone missing all the pieces of something that
broke in the sink. They make it to the drain and cannot get through the
holes of the drain and so the stick up. You often cannot see then and
they are particularly bad when the shard goes under your nail as you
reach into the drain to get something. Yes, I have done this.

Iâ??m doing a training next week for undergraduate students and Iâ??d like to make the point that itâ??s not always the chemistry that creates the problem. The example I have in mind could involve hot glassware that breaks when someone tries to pick it up and drops it, but similar events would be helpful as well.
