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

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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.

WTF happened to just turning on your car's AC to defrost and scrapping the window with a hand scrapper? it's only hard for about two minutes and then the entire sheet of ice will just slide right off.

...Pay attention in Physics class, please.

Ummmmmmm, WOW. You're an idiot, OP. I think my seven year old cousin knows not to put hot water on cold glass and vice versa.

I choose to define vice versa as "I think cold glass knows not to put hot water on my seven year old cousin."

WOW YDI. How STUPID do you have to be to think that GLASS defies the laws of physics. You DEFINITELY deserve it.

Uh, basic science anyone? I thought it was common knowledge? Kids, do not try this at home!

Even warm glasses out of the wash will break if you pour cold water in them right away...
