So observe a couple commenters on the post - including apparently it's common to tape like this - WHY? It looks like crap, why not use oh a label maker or something.
Because most lab techs don’t have time for that silly shit. Scotch tape is easier. And since labs are routinely cleaned, most places just remake paper signs instead of waisting label maker tape.
It's easier to make letters out of tape? Huh, ok. I mean I'm not arguing I'll take your word for it but it sure seems silly vs just labeling it with a post-it or something.
you know what? on second look, it's pretty obvious the H-E-L-P is in a reflection.. and given this is someone recording a monitor/TV from a phone, this is even more bullshitty. The letters are clearly not on the same can't/surface as the machine. This looks fake as fucking hell.
edit: third look. I'm back and forth on this. It looks like it possibly could be taped on the machine but without the source video, it's not definitive for me. But it's clear there's tape being used on something. But pretending like this is some plea by someone in the lab is fucking insane.

So's making letters on things with fucking tape IMO but I'm fine leaving it at this point....
