TIFU By Leaving a Gallon of Milk in My Car Trunk. tifu

This happened this morning, or at least the consequences of it did.

I use a grocery service from a large chain. You order what you need online and then you go and pick it up. They load your groceries. It is nice and saves time.

Two weeks ago I made an order and used my car instead of the minivan. I helped load my groceries and drove home. When I got home I unloaded the groceries and then checked the car while my children put them away in the pantry and refrigerator. I was pretty sure everything was out of the trunk. I even checked the extra wad of bags I keep in the trunk for emergencies and recycling. You never know when you need to put wet clothes or something in a bag. All clear.

This morning I got the kids up to take them to school. They hopped in the car first and immediately start complaining about how bad the car smells. I give them the dad answer of how it is probably their upper lip.

I get in the car. It smells a bit bad and I assume the youngest has left a milk sippy cup somewhere under a seat. I drive my older children to school as they moan and put the front of their shirts over their noses.

After I drop the kids off at school I go back to my house, and start searching for the cup. I can't find it. I look high and low and as I get to the back it smells worse.

I open the trunk.

Wow! The smell is horrendous. It smells like a cow and fish had sexual relations in my car, died in the throws of ecstasy, and have ripened together in the sun.

I finally find the culprit -- a gallon of milk that is hidden behind the jumper cables and car emergency kit. It must have rolled back behind there. We drink a lot of milk every week, like four to five gallons, so it wouldn't have been immediately obvious that one was missing. I pull out the homemade cheese experiment and as I am moving it to the outside trashcan it explodes. The whey immediately leaks out of the grocery bag, onto my legs and feet. Curds fly everywhere.

I spent the rest of the morning febreezing my car, cleaning out the curds, and washing my pants and shoes.

TLDR; Accidentally left gallon of milk in car trunk for two weeks. Foul cheese experiment explodes in car and all over me.
