It is a safety practice to protect yourself when performing tasks; wearing safety goggles is because there is a potential hazard of chemical splash. Sometime, face shield is preferred as depending on the volume of chemical that is being used.
In addition, protection should also be available during the handling such as gloves, apron, respirator, etc.

On a recent episode of Josh and Drake, one of them was learning to be a teacher for a class (pour this into this). The thing blew up in his face. In the real world a student should never pour chemicals etc. without wearing glasses not for thr kaboom but to protect against the more common SPLASH. You only have one set of eyes. Also in biology settings the eyes are a source of any blood contaminates (bacteria virus) etc entering the body if exposed. So no its not just to aggravate you.

Well, first of all, if you accidentally spill a chemical on your hand without knowing it and then you rub your eye, it could irritate it and cause an infection.
And if someone drops a bottle or the chemical suddenly explodes, it could easily hit the eye.

Obviously you wear safety galsses so you don't get chemicals in your eyes which can cause irritation and/or blindness. Could you serioulsy not come up with this on your own?
