4. Pushing fellow female classmates who tried to snatch the vials of RE buffer and restriction enzymes that the lab tech got for me out of my hands even tho I'm not done with them yet coz I told her I ran out of RE buffer and restriction enzymes and she got some for me and told me to pass to them when I'm done
