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

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Same thing different taste

haha idiot.

#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.

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

YDI for being a dumbass

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...
