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.

haha my mom did that once... only the windows were hot and she was hosing them off with water cause they were dirty.

you idiot , I'm only 15 & not only that I don't own a car but I know that you're supposed to put cold water on your windshield that has ice on it otherwise it will break .

u r meant to use cold water, it's warmer than the ice so the ice comes off

man... that sucks... but really..?

It's kind of funny because today I read another FML pertaining to this same misfortune. Someone's dumb ass roomate did it... Tell me, do you live alone?

When glass is cold and you heat it up too quickly, that tends to happen. Common sense alludes you...
