Vanity is a sin.

Sometimes, people amaze me. The perfect example:

In my chemistry lab on thursday night, we were working with concentrated hydrochloric acid (pretty strong stuff). One of the girls was working without goggles, so when the teacher reminded her she needed to be wearing them, she tried to put them on...while still holding the tube of acid in her hand. The stuff spilled into her hair, so our professor started flipping out. Here is a pretty accurate transcript of the dialogue. (P=Professor; VG=Vain Girl).

P: Was there HCl in that tube??
VG: Yeah...is that bad?
P: RINSE IT OFF! GET YOUR HEAD IN THE SINK, NOW!
VG: Oh my Gooooood, are you seriouuuus?
P: YES, IT WILL BURN YOU! RINSE IT!
VG: Oh my Goooood, no I can't! I straightened my hair today! It will get all curly!
P: You'd rather have curly hair than CHEMICAL BURNS on your scalp!
VG: No! You don't understand, I straightened it! I have, like, really curly hair!.....Oh my God, wait, IS MY HAIR GOING TO, LIKE, FALL OUT??
P: I don't know, I don't know what HCl does to hair.
VG: Oh my GOD! Like, GOOGLE IT or something!!!!!!!

God forbid your hair gets curly. I'd take some frizz over chemical burns any day, but that's just me I guess.

These are my peers. Great!
