Today, I learned there is a taste difference between grabbing a glass of milk that has been sitting on your night table for a week and the one you put on there 3 minutes before. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered why the milk in my house has a funny, sweet taste. My family has been pouring the leftover milk from their cereal back into the carton. FML
Today, I was pouring milk into my coffee and, as it plooped into my mug, I noticed the expiration date on the jug passed two weeks ago. Nobody here drinks milk very often and I ran out of creamer, so I've been unknowingly drinking my coffee with curdled milk for the past three days. FML
Today, I had a real coffee again after being sick for two weeks. It didn't taste so good, though. Just like the one I had yesterday. Well, I thought, maybe my taste has changed? Maybe I just need to get used to it again? No, it was just that the milk had gone bad three days ago. FML
Today, I found a small bottle of chocolate milk in the fridge from McDonald's. I've been living with my grandparents while going to college and figuring they'd never drink it themselves, I took a sip. It had expired two years ago. FML
Today, I really wanted something to drink. I looked in the fridge, and found some of my grandma's soy milk. I took a swig, and instead of tasting soy, I tasted something rotten. Turns out my grandma knows I drink her soy milk, so she swapped it with expired chicken broth. FML
Today, the host family that I'm staying with in China gave me a small milk box to drink. It tasted a bit tangy and sour, but I thought that was probably just the taste of milk in China. Trying to be polite, I practically chugged the whole box. Later, I found out that it had expired 20 days ago. FML
Today, I saw my mom changing the expiry date on milk. She genuinely thought this would make the milk sour later. FML
Today, my roommate thought that "sour milk" would taste like sour candy. She left a jug of milk out for two days, then took a huge gulp, vomited everywhere, and dropped the jug. Now the kitchen stinks of rotten dairy. FML
Today, I learned that lemonade and urine look very similar to one another. I also learned that they taste very different. FML
Today, I learned the horrifying implications of my memory not being what it used to be when I bought a tasty-looking chocolate bar, only to realize upon taking a bite that I'd bought one before and not liked it one bit. FML

Ok, first of all, how could you waste a delicious glass of milk by leaving it out for a week? I'll admit I leave glasses out at times, but they're always empty...especially milk. Definitely don't know how you missed the smell. When the milk in the carton is even slightly off, I can smell it. If it had been out for a week, that would reek so bad. Oh, and Ive seen a cereal bowl in the sink for a week, and the milk def hardened. You either can't see, have no sense of smell, or are just an idiot! YDI

Here's an idea: GET RID OF THE OLD GLASS OF MILK!

Are you my old college roommate OP? She constantly left shit everywhere. One time she left a glass of milk out that she only took a few sips out of. Since the rest of us were sick of cleaning up after her, we left it sit on the coffee table until it started to smell really bad, and then we moved it to her room. I don't know what happened to it after that. It's probably still there. So yes, women can be disgusting slobs, and they can even be adult disgusting slobs too.

HAHA. Sometimes slobs are just really THAT bad. My ex lived with a guy that refused to do his dishes. They got sick of cleaning up after him too so they took everything that was his and dirty and piled it onto his bed. My ex told me it stayed in his room for two weeks before they cornered him and MADE him clean. I said it in another comment, I'm not always the NEATEST person in the world - but being a disgusting slob like that? I mean you must really not care about yourself if you (you being the roommate, not YOU... or the OP in this case) are THAT careless about things around you.

I'm sure it's already been said but I'm too lazy to read.... YDI for leaving milk sitting by your bedside for three weeks.

It was for a week. Maybe it's best not to be ******* lazy and read for a chance.

Um, EWWWWWW. I mean, seriously - I'm not the neatest person in the world, I understand how sometimes you get involved in doing something and may even forget to grab that lone glass and throw it into the sink on the occassion - But MILK? For a WEEK?!?! Thats absolutely disgusting. How did you NOT smell it? Milk starts to smell and congeal after a day or two of being out.... UGH, I feel sick. Your apartment (or room) must be absolutely disgusting if you are careless enough to leave a glass of MILK out for a WEEK and not care. Y completely DI

How exactly could you leave a glass of milk sitting out for a week without smelling something nasty? Seriously, that is just disgusting! If I don't finish what I'm drinking or eating, I take it out to the kitchen and get rid of it so that it doesn't smell. Do you see cockroaches running around your house? I bet you do! Lazy ass.
