Input: Text: i figured you won't get it unless i tell you the context behind it

so, here at my university, we have a prototyping lab which is amazing, all the machines needed for precision machining and manufacturing of awesome components. i needed to make a railing system which required metal rods, and i saw in the "scrap" corner of the shop, this beautiful 5 ft long 3/8" wide stainless steel rod. i grab that up right away and notice theres a tiny hole in the center of the line.. almost like its a pipe or something, but who cares right? i just want to save money for my project so i don't have to order the metal rods myself. so i take that pipe to the bandsaw and cut it into the lengths i like, and thats the end of the story.... or so i thought.

on a separate occasion i thought it would be amazing to make a sword in the shop. in my stupidity i was thinking it would be totally awesome and be a cool thing to make for the solar car team i was on. i sliced up some steel plate and glued 2 wood pieces together to make a handle. after some sanding i sort of gave up and left that sword lying around in our autobay..... which is also where i left the cut up steel pipe.

fast forward to today, the shop manager came into the autobay, saw the steel tubing, and the sword i made (did i mention its against school policy to make weapons in the shop), and left a note for me stating that i had just cut up a $400 hi pressure water line tube and that i had broken school policy for making the sword which 1, technically, counts as a crime, and 2, is grounds for expulsion.

i have yet to talk to him in person, only his shop assistants and they're giving me looks.

TIFU by cutting a $400 water line and by almost getting expelled
