oh shit...
...is what 1 said when he realized he'd be first to comment, and couldn't think up anything decent to say.
Except this isn't the first time Dad's walked in to see white liquid splattered all over his son's face
and the race to be first has claimed yet another victim
If I was OP's father, I would have assumed the idiot was trying out his own personal "milk challenge" and I'd be equally unimpressed he wasted that much milk plus made a colossal mess in the kitchen. :p
Who drinks from the carton that's just disgusting.
I do, but only when I know I can finish it off.
17-Considering about 9 out of the first 12 comments (including mine) say that it's disgusting to drink from the carton, I'm wagering it's not 'like everyone'.
What are you? Our mothers? Meh
21-It's common ******* decency. Unless you're single and living alone in your own home, it's completely inappropriate to drink directly from a bottle more than one person is going to use. But then again, I guess common decency isn't so common, is it?
26, that is a very idiotic question you have there. Overestimate means he believes he is stronger than he actually is. Underestimating would mean he believes he is not as strong as he truly is.
I agree. It's not normal at all, disgusting unless you live alone.
34- I think 26 is right, if he overestimated it, would it not mean that it wouldn't go very far up, because he thought that it would be lighter, due to his overestimating his strength.. Where if he underestimated, he would think he would have to use more strength to lift it, resulting in it being spilled all over him
40. You just said he estimated his strength and the carton, even though he does not say one thing about estimating anything but his strength. Please read over the FML before trying to correct me, because I can assure you, you and 26 are wrong.
ManImTheMachine, please help me explain this to these two. I'm sure you know the difference between overunderestimating right?
46- No no, let me assure you, you're wrong on this one. You might want to stop before further making a fool of yourself. :p
Apparently it's a debatable topic
Waffle... There are many things I can fix, but one I cannot is your stupidity.
Sigh, kids these days. Too headstrong and stubborn to take good advice. It's okay though I don't blame you, clearly it's the educational system in your country that's let you down.
Beatle, what is that in your picture? It looks kind of like a shell.
Waffle, there is something called dictionary.com for dumb asses like you who can't tell the difference between under/overestimate. And by the way, **** you for stereotyping the education in America.
saintsrocksoks: Actually, 40 is correct. But don't take my word for it, here's the Merriam-Webster definition of underestimate: Main Entry: un·der·es·ti·mate Pronunciation: ˌən-dər-ˈes-tə-ˌmāt Function: transitive verb Date: 1792 1 : to estimate as being less than the actual size, quantity, or number. Therefore, OVERestimate would be the opposite. Based on the definition above, underestimate would be the more accurate term in the FML. Hopefully this will stop a flamewar from ensuing. Although I may be too late.
Starting a sentence with and, tsk. I wonder why your buddy you called out isn't backing you up, hm?
Machine, I posted what it meant in one of the comments, you just said the exact same thing in detailed context. But the definition is not the problem in this debate. It's how they use they word.
63, does it say anything about estimating the weigh of the carton in the FML? No. OP does estimate his arm strength.
In that case, you, 40, and 26 are correct, and this entire, erm, 'debate' was in vain. Go to bed people.
34- You seem very aggressive for someone simply answering a question. If the OP overestimated his strength, then he would have lifted the carton less than he expected. Think of it this way: if he was lifting weights and overestimated his strength, he might not be able to lift as much as he thought, or not make it go as high.
If he would of underestimated his strength, he wouldn't of even bothered attempting to do what he did.
67, that's exactly what I meant... If he overestimated it, he wouldn't be able to lift it as easily as he thought he would, resulting in him spilling it.
68: You're confusing the prefixes 'over-' and 'under-'. You're also confusing 'would of' with 'would have', but I'm too tired for this. Good night.
Ok machine, I'll take your word for it and go to sleep. Guys sorry if I was wrong.
Why don't we just say that he didn't over- or underestimate anything, he just failed?
I can't believe I'm late for the over/under debate! I'm on the under team. It would be pretty sad if you thought you are strong enough to lift a carton of milk and then find out that... Nope, you can't. That would be a different FML.
To quote Peter Griffin... OH MY GOD WHO THE HELL CARES Point is, op accidently spilled milk all over his face trying to drink out of the bottle.
He thought he was strong enough to lift it, but he wasnt ( overestimate).
My intention wasn't to start a debate, all I had wanted to do was to put in my opinion, and back up the "idiotic" commenter. I said what I had thought was true, and I don't think anyone appreciates the way that some responses were sent, I don't believe that name calling is necessary. Everyone is wrong at times, and it can help to point it out, but only when done kindly. Seriously, no venom is needed People tend to listen a lot more when the advice is said in a humane way, not when they are called stupid. There is no need for that.
A carton of milk isn't that heavy.
3: That's the OP's point; he expected it to be heavier and accidentally splashed himself.
3: That's the OP's point; he expected it to be heavier and accidentally splashed himself.
Maybe it was a new carton... Maybe he only works out one arm... And that's his milk drinking arm... And he forgets the strength difference.. And maybe his body was informing him it's was a little more quenched than anticipated. And thing escalated quickly.. Always a chance(:
43- Maybe you... Should stop typing... Like that...
I think most of you don't understand how heavy an average milk carton is... Athletes keep trying to master the milk-lifting technique for years now. They eat milk. Drink milk. Breathe milk. They LIVE for milk. Why, you ask? One simple reason. They are training for the Olympics, taking the worlds breath away with their milk-themed stunts. Don't strip them of their dream.
This is why you don't drink from the carton children.
He got super soaked... By a carton of milk. *rips his man card away* you don't deserve a man card.
Your picture goes so well with the FML.
^ Or maybe Op has some bad personal habits, plus he didn't care how much as in there (hence why he's now wearing it) or who may be drinking from it next (again, hence no cup!) ;P
I read "that's nasty" in Cleveland's voice.
He was obviously wondering why you'd drink straight from the carton. I'd be disgusted too. It's selfish and unhygienic.
Well the carton could be just for the son and the dad drinks a different milk. But yeah drinking from the carton is gross.
I do now, my fiancee drinks 2% and I drink whole milk. Also so do many families have different types of milk the house. Example toddler milk usual whole milk and the rest of family drink skin milk or one member could be lactose intolerant and drink silk milk. Perhaps they just choose have different milk for cooking. Don't be so narrowed minded.
* in the house
He's probably more impressed than you think. ;)
You overestimated your strength? Even if it was a full gallon, that still only weighs about 4kg. Yeah, such a big strong man you are, tough guy. Oh, and you're a ******* pig for drinking from the carton.
Couldn't have been said better any other way Doc.
^ You two, I'm sure he can wipe his own ass. He doesn't need you to lick it for him, eh.
^ There has been an upsurge of praising Doc lately. Perhaps be needs to be brought down a step: Hey Doc! You're an asshole! (Bet he respects That more than "Bend over Doc, I wanna smooch your hole.") ;P Just screwing with you, Doc. Obviously. ;P
