Today, I helped an elderly lady unscrew the cooling tank's cap from her smoking car. My reward? A scalding shower of toxic, pungent antifreeze that erupted moments after removing said cap. She didn't even thank me. FML

Dude you TOTALLY deserved it!!! You're not supposed to unscrew the cap to a radiator right after it has over-heated for that exact reason. It also states it on the cap itself or right next to the cap directly on top of the radiator for idiots like you. If you can't read because you're illiterate then refer to the common knowledge that liquid evaporates when heated up and the steam that is created in the process then pressurizes because it's trapped in a container and is violently released when that container is opened. If you don't know about cars over-heating, can't read, and don't have common knowledge then you shouldn't be ******* around in such a harmful situation regardless of your intentions. So once again-you TOTALLY deserved it. Deuche bag.

It's pretty well commonly known to not open the cap until the car is cool & there is no pressure. this was just plain dumb...

Next time pay attention to what you are doing instead of looking down her shirt. YDI, Dumbass.

You're supposed to wait for the car to cool down before removing the cap.

Unless all coolant is out of the system and it is started again. 85 percent of antifreeze uses today is non toxic. It will not kill you. And yes op did deserve it because Of what the cap says. But if you are going to make fun of him at least know what you are talking about
