  1. Wiggit says:

    The “To feel science’y” part of this graph is way too large. Half of it should go to “It’s cold in the lab” and another quarter should go to the “inspector visit”. :)

  2. X says:

    Stolen from PHD comics…

  3. Em The Mildly Amazing says:

    With me, it’s either because I can’t find my normal coat, or (more often) to wear with red spirally goggles and laugh like a madman.

  4. Eric says:

    Chemicals are sometimes dangerous and can damage your skin or clothes.

  5. Dfrtbx says:

    IT’S ALIVE! in the name of god?! now i know what it feels like to be god!

  6. Wacky sciene says:

    Where is my ‘Because the last time, the boiling sulfuric acid destroyed your favorite tee and your jeans” slice? WHERE IS IT?

    • dude says:

      I’m with Wacky. Working in a lab is dangerous stuff!

    • deeba says:

      Yeah. “Because you forgot it was your day to empty the base bath and wore a nice t-shirt” should also be represented, as should “because your klutzy labmate is working at the next bench”.

  7. Loleroctupus says:

    My teacher once told the class that years ago, she forgot to where pants and wore a labcoat all day. XD

  8. starrypawz says:

    Or in the case of being a animal care student:
    ‘To somehow deflect mud from the labcoat and onto your trousers when you end up falling down a muddy slope’
    and
    ‘To give the rabbits something to chew on’ (they seem to like eating holes in labcoats)

  9. John M says:

    Completely ignored: “To fraudulently make it appear that a profession backs federal legislation affecting it’s industry.”

  10. JT says:

    YAY SCIENCE.

  11. M says:

    OMG is it the real cham on graphjam?

  12. marie says:

    5% hiding a flagrant dress code violation
    15% protecting your real clothes
    80% WHY IS IT SO COLD IN HERE!?!?

    items of clothing I have ruined with chemicals while doing science: none
    items of clothing I have ruined while cleaning with very mild bleach solution while working in the childcare industry: too numerous to count

  13. SharkMan2 says:

    Love it!! PHD is definitely what gets me through grad school!!

  14. Forest.Elf says:

    I wear one to be able to write booze prices down in supermarkets (since they won’t just let you do that:P). Usually they leave people wearing labcoats alone :P .
    Also wear them to have something to write random stuff on when tripping ze balls.

  15. jacob says:

    Or so that when you have gomers and pukers you don’t have to get your dress shirt dirty.

  16. Simonedi says:

    lets not forget the end of yeat WTF is that stain contest, makes a good haloween costume with some fake blood. Oh and the good old “its on im working really”!

  17. kastor says:

    haha, XKCD #699 covers this!

  18. kelly says:

    don’t forget all the undergraduate posers in first semester general chem who think they look “so cool” wearing a labcoat, so they wear it outside the lab and say “they were cold.”

  19. Micah says:

    There should be at least a microscopic portion to “prevent corrosive chemicals to ruin clothes and/or skin” or something like that…
