Today, the windows on my car were frozen. I filled up a bucket of hot water, and threw it on the windows. The windows cracked. FML

People are that retarded. My ex-in-laws were from GA and they used BOILING water. They offered to do it to my car. I had my car thawed and scraped before their water even started to boil. How they never cracked a window is beyond me. Their logic was because it wasn't as cold consistently down there it wasn't as much of a shock. I gave up trying to explain that frozen is frozen and boiling is boiling no matter your relation to the Mason-Dixon line.

#13 i think that area of france is the default location if the OP doesnt state it
and its a pretty damn stupid thing to do, but why does everything stupid have to be called fake, 6.8 billion people in the world some of them are gonna be stupid or just make stupid mistakes, if they didnt there'd be a lot less fml's in the world

Because French people are stupid, thus stupid FMLs are assumed to be from that shit country.

I've been to France, I used to live there. They are stupid. Americans are too, don't get me wrong, but as a whole French were just lacking common sense. Maybe that's why in WWII they built a giant wall to stop the Germans and then watched as they flew right over it... And took over the country in a few weeks.

how does water crack a window???
Reply
Raiden353

If the window is cold and you throw hot water on it the water heats that side of the window up very quickly, which also causes it to expand. Since the other side of the window is still cold and not expanded, the window basically destroys itself.

@ Blue Coconuts: Germany took over France in WWII......wow!!!
Yet somehow at the end of the war Germany was pretty much destroyed and signed the ECCS Treaty in order to receive money from Italy, Luxembourg, The Nethelands, Belgium and.....FRANCE!

its not the fact that its water. if you have a really cold glass, and you pour hot liquid in it, it will crack. the instant heat shocks it because it doesnt have time to expand gradually.

I'm pretty sure it's the fact that the glass is going from freezing to hot that it cannot handle, not the heat itself.

True that. It seems like most of the people that call other people stupid are morons themselves. Back to fifth grade science class people. Remember those things called molecules? Its simple. Molecules expand when you supply heat and contract when cooled, everything is made up of molecules and atoms. Everything. Glass can withstand constant gradual rise in temperature. What it can not stand (besides idiots) is rapid heat which causes some molecules to expand faster than the other resulting in broken glass.

glass can take heat really well FYI
it's made from very high heat to form
it's the sudden change in temperature that makes it crack

says the dumbass, glass can hold heat fine, it's the drastic change in temperature which caused it to crack.

#8 - It's the sudden temperature change that caused the cracks, not the heat. Glass is made in extremely hot temperatures, so withstanding any heat that the OP could have caused is not an issue.
OP, when you suddenly and drastically change the temperature of the glass, cracking is inevitable. This is why it's also a good idea to rinse glasses with hot water before putting boiling liquids in them.

The thicker the glass, the more likely a drastic temperature change will cause cracking.

if that's true, are you saying it is easier to crack a coffee mug by putting boiling water in it than a wine glass??? just wondering, cuz now I gotta try it to see if it's true XD.

coffee mugs are generally made of ceramic materials (aka: not glass) which can withstand much higher sudden temperatures than say a thin wine glass.
