Re: Receptionist on the phone
"In schools it's the school secretary and the caretaker. And yes, I've seen what happens to staff members who are gratuitously nasty to either."
And the chemistry teacher. I was doing an extra year of independent study and one of my assignments was a pretty fiendish ketone synthesis. It smelled like buttered popcorn and was exceptionally potent. The last part of the assignment was to sneak on campus in the evening and put a few drops on the HVAC fresh air intakes. The next day the offices, library and media center smelled like a movie theatre. I got full marks for that one.
