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

#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.

You do realize cars have defrosters that do that, right?

Haha sorry op, but thats a lesson in science you wish you wouldn't have fell asleep on

Cold water, you always use cold water. It seems counterintuitive, but that's what works.
