Lab coats aren't meant to be worn outside of a lab. They're meant to protect your body from dangerous chemicals so you would be retarded for walking around in it exposing everyone you know to said chemicals.

oh god, I had a physics (physics for biological sciences, aka retard physics) professor who would always get chalk everywhere.

my favorite is when he'd work on a proof, erase part with his bare hand, and then hold his chin in though, getting the chalk dust all over his face
