I was a student in a lab, so I was tasked with making the 10% HCL bath to clean the glassware. I learned that day why you should always add acid to water, and not add water to acid. The building was evacuated.

My first professional chemistry job had an older lab tech who used to always say when dealing with any acid.
“Do what you oughta, add acid to water”
It’s a fun saying especially because you need to mispronounce a few words to get it to rhyme correctly.
