Iām not fine with it but housing prices are exorbitant. Not everyone can buy and landlords donāt care if regulating bodies donāt force them to care. Why fix it if no one makes them? That costs them money. People arenāt landlords because they want to make the world a better place. They are attracted to it because it seems like a way they can exploit people for their benefit. Renters in many places, even large cities donāt have much to fight back with and if they do, they risk losing their housing. See above about exorbitant prices.
I had this opinion until I helped someone look for an apartment. Living in the bed of my truck would be better than 90% of the apartments I saw. One place I looked at had a broken water pipe in the basement leaking water right next to a circuit breaker and the building manager told me it just had a state inspection pass. I actually believe them too considering the other wild shit I saw. Landlords, lack of regulation, and low wages has led to a world where there really isn't an alternative option for many.
OP ask your neighbor to pour some water down as well to rinse as much of the milk out as possible. Whatever is left in there is about to ruin your life.
Had a friend that lived in a late 1800s house that was converted to apartments. You could see through the floorboards to the celler laundry room. You could hear all 6 neighbors that lived in there too.. It was terrible. If someone was listening to music or playing a movie, everyone was.
I can hear every phone call, movie playing, microwaves beeping. And I live across the street from a fire station and a train track. So it's very noisy.
First thing I do with new microwaves is find the combo to turn off the damn beep. Iād send instructions to your neighbors as well. (Though that sounds minor compared to the rest).
I have the same living situation but I was the one who spilt milk... It got it all over my desk and floor but I instantly wiped it up, cleaned it, sanitized it, tried to vacuum the wood floor incase and even wiped it again with a cleaner just to make sure. No smell months later and nothing went into the floor boards (that I know of).
They must have a cow upstairs just pissing milk all over their floors for that to happen.
Any building that has slatted floors rather than plywood do absolutely leak water between levels, they mostly stopped doing it in like the 50s and 60s, there's just alot more seams and there's really nothing you can do about it (other than ripping the floor out down to the joists and replacing, which can be quite expensive)
Uhm. It will be uninhabitable.
I worked at a agriculture college and students once spilled milk in the back of a college van without properly cleaning the mat afterwards.
The van rank so bad even after two professional cleanings it became unusable. We once had to use it for a 2h drive and we could not close the windows, despite freezing and blasting our ears. You don't want to be around when the milk sours within your ceiling.
Fuck at this point Iād beg the neighbor to dump some diluted bleach on the floor to drip thru ššši forgot a gallon of milk in my trunk during the summer two years agoā¦ it exploded. still had an odor of sour milk..
Post a picture of your ceilingĀ Ā
Edit: OP posted their [ceiling](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/1c36teg/comment/kzgty5u/). Itās bad
Came here to say this. Im so confused. Ive lived in all wood apartments before, but there was still drywall as my ceiling, and same for whoever was below me etc. Op makes it sounds like you look up and literally see wood planks with gaps.
OP said they live above a [wedding dress store](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/1c36teg/comment/kzf8qtj/) so why is it pooling on OPās floor but gushed down from the ceiling right after neighbor dropped a jug of milk?Ā
Edit: OPās ceiling is like deck
Right. I just read that as well and it confused me even more. Op has a normal floor. For it to happen the way they said it did, the person above would have 1, not have a normal floor but something akin to a backyard deck for a floor. 2, the person above have no sub floor which im sure is against code everywhere. 3, Op has no insulation and drywall barrier between their neighbors weird ādeckā flooring and their ceiling. Like if the person aboveās lights were on, and the Ops were off you would see light shining thru? It also doesnāt work bc most apartments have atleast a couple of ceiling light fixtures. how could Op have light fixtures with literally no barier between them and the person above? There would be no where to hide juction boxes, wires, any plumbing for the person above etc. I need to see Ops ceiling lol.
But why is it leaking inside? If it were a wooden porch/patio, that would make sense.
Edit. Saw your reply below. No need to respond. Although, how do you know the structure is sound if the floor boards arenāt floor boarding?
At my last townhouse I never really heard my neighbors for years. Then a couple moved in that fought frequently and played loud music anytime day or night with thumping bass. I literally never wanted to be home and it was my final year at that complex since management didnāt stop them.
For those infuriated by this commenter for going through the trouble of fucking editing their comment to say "never mind, I saw your reply" without stating what was in the reply they're referring to, here is what OP said as to why the milk is leaking:
> The floorboards have gaps between them and a lot dumped really fast before she could clean it up. It all happened really quickly.
Yes this is the craziest part to me. They spilled milk inside their apartment and it's leaking into the downstairs apartment?! Are the floors made out of Swiss cheese? Lol
So the floorboards in the picture is what my ceiling looks like. This is an old building renovated into an apartment building. My neighbor dropped milk while bringing in her groceries and it was able to seep through the cracks. Sorry if this is still confusing! I used a bunch of pinesol so I hope it doesn't stink ahahhaha
How is that...possible? I'd feel like my fat ass would break that "floor" the moment I stepped in the kitchen.How does it hold, like, furniture? This ain't adding up
It is confusing!! I live in a sort of an odd building and leaking dishwashers, washing machines, etc etc never caused leakage into the bottom apartments.
I can't imagine what would happen if a larger spill occurs in your place.
According to their comments the milk wasn't sitting on the floor a long time. Their floors are just very porous and allowed milk to get through unreasonably fast.
I'd be apartment hunting if I were them.
Pro tip: when you go to view a new apartment, bring a friend with you and get them to go upstairs to the apartment above and have them pour milk on the floor. Letās you know how porous the floors are
Imagine just spilling a glass of milk and by the time you come back with a rag the floor drank it all in.
Can you wave at the neighbour through those floor gaps ?
This sounds like a ryan george bit.
The First Guy to Spill Milk
Guy #1: *drops milk* starts to sniffle
Guy #2 (also ryan george with a slight wardrobe change and fake mustache): "NO CRYING"
Guy #1: "What? But I spilled my milk and i'm sad about that."
Guy #2: "Yeah, no. You're not allowed to cry about that we decided."
Guy #1: "Who's 'we'?"
Camera goes back to guy #2 with like five other ryan georges with slightly varied outfits, hats, and fake facial hair: "Hi, there, hello. We're the people who decide what you're allowed to cry about and milk is clearly not on the list."
Right? I can literally watch Russian soldiers die in 1080p the day after it happened on r/combatfootage (don't go, your eyes are definitely bigger than your stomach) but I can't look at mold?
Must've been an absolute shit-show.
Can you get on a step ladder and feed money through the floor boards? Maybe try it with a 20 first and just put enough through so they can see it. Then yank it down as soon as they go to grab it. We used to do this at the boardwalk. But for real how are they not falling through just loose ass floorboards this is bizarre. Also if you didn't like your upstairs neighbors you could get a can of fart spray and put one of those straws on it like you see on cans of WD40 and feed the straw through the floorboards releasing the entire can of fart into their house.
Many many years ago my late father ( a coroner ) told me a story of an upstairs neighbor passed away and had fell on the register vent. The downstairs neighbor didnāt know.
She kept getting a spot on her carpet thinking her dog was making the mess. Never thinking to look up until a few weeks later.
Throw in some kitchen towel at the bottom of a bucket when youāre using it for a drip/leak. Itās dampens the impact and stops it from splashing everywhere š¤š»
That's something my kids would do. Spill a drink on my wood floors then stand there and stare at it while is soaks into all the cracks while they laugh and start filming it and them laughing. They then tell me it's a game you do on tiktok.
They need to lift the floor boards and clean the mess up inside the floor above your ceiling. As it will go off and smell in both apartments.
Inside the floor they need to soak up as much as they can. Then use a little water and repeat twice to dilute any remaining milk. Spray with antibacterial would not do any harm too
In college my friend dumped a glass of milk in her dorm right on the first day of winter break and everyone left. She used paper towel to suck the most of it out before she left. She came back 2 days before school started and thought something died in the room. I went over and holy shit that smell. I had to wash my clothes and shower after spending 10 secs in that room.
I'm surprised at how many people think old wooden floorboards are supposed to be watertight. There's a tongue and groove fitting, and nails, but it's basically just boards butted up against each other.
Honestly, I've just never seen such a floor. It's never just some boards, right? What about insulation etc.? I just can't imagine that... you'd be able to hear through that, what a nightmare! I refuse to believe you have floors like that in the US. (If that was mistakable: I'm not living in the US but I guess OP does?)
There still needs to be subflooring etc. there should not be open holes or this much room for the milk to get through so quick. This is 100% not normal.
That's going to smell nice in a few weeks.
I'm so excited š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The insurance company: we will not reimburse the paper towels
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's an old building that was turned into an apartment building and the milk was able to seep through the floorboards.
I cant imagine how much of a fire hazard the place is if dropped milk comes through
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There is no concrete only wood. The place isn't sound proof at all and I hate living here. I could hear her yell sorry when it happened.
>I could hear her yell sorry when it happened. This is really funny for some reason.
>There is no concrete only ~~wood~~ Zuul
Surely this is illegal on fire safety grounds? Imagine how quickly a fire would spread from her place to yours or vice versa.
That's the sort of thing I'd expect to see/hear on a movie depicted in the olden times in Europe xD
People aren't fine with it. But that's their only option

Even from a building insurance point of view I cant understand how theres no fire safety requirements. Very scary.

When you eventually move into a quieter place, those first few days of silence are going to be *so* weird for you!
First thing I do with new microwaves is find the combo to turn off the damn beep. Iād send instructions to your neighbors as well. (Though that sounds minor compared to the rest).
I didn't even know this was an option.
I have the same living situation but I was the one who spilt milk...

It got through the floor boards very fast and I talked to her. She was bringing in groceries and dropped the milk. All is well now.
Any building that has slatted floors rather than plywood do absolutely leak water between levels, they mostly stopped doing it in like the 50s and 60s, there's just alot more seams and there's really nothing you can do about it (other than ripping the floor out down to the joists and replacing, which can be quite expensive)
Seriously, how do you not wipe up the mess before it soaks through the floor?
I didn't have any paper towels so I used a bath towel
Eco-friendly!
Insurance company: we value the loss to be $1 less than your deductible. Also, fuck you.
Uhm. It will be uninhabitable. I worked at a agriculture college and students once spilled milk in the back of a college van without properly cleaning the mat afterwards. The van rank so bad even after two professional cleanings it became unusable. We once had to use it for a 2h drive and we could not close the windows, despite freezing and blasting our ears. You don't want to be around when the milk sours within your ceiling.
They'll cut the ceiling and clean it? Why would they just leave it there forever lol.
Landlords are cheap
Iād almost tell you to run up there and still a quart of water in the same spotā¦ā¦. Just too try to delude what you can
> try to delude what you can "This is going to turn out juuust fine."
That's the spirit. _There's no use crying over spilled milk._
Collect it into a cup, go upstairs and ask if they need to borrow some milk.
That's a small that lasts, too.
Especially in summer...
Fuck at this point Iād beg the neighbor to dump some diluted bleach on the floor to drip thru ššši forgot a gallon of milk in my trunk during the summer two years agoā¦ it exploded. still had an odor of sour milk..
Maybe itāll be cheese by then! š¤¤
More like a few hours really. I worked at a Starbucks and if I spilled milk. On myself, Iād smell like cheese by end of the shift.
A single quart? That amount was able go tough floor before being cleaned up and drip downstairs?
The floorboards have gaps between them and a lot dumped really fast before she could clean it up. It all happened really quickly.

That canāt be up to code
Oh wow that looks terrible.
RIP link 404
Bro how loud is it there, the sound separation must be terrible
Missing a bit of ceiling there...
Broken link!
Goddamn I hate Imgur
I'm watching all my fellow redditors diss your ceiling, I need you to reupload that picture so I can join in. Pretty please
[Imgbb](https://imgbb.com/) is a functional alternative.
Itās not there š
It shouldnāt be directly floorboards to your ceiling. Thatās extremely concerning tbh you should use this to break your lease for safety issues.
Why buy a cow when you have neighbors to provide for you?
You heard it here first, folks: milk your neighbors!
Oh that's what my mom does every week
I have so many questions
She dropped her milk
But why is it leaking inside? If it were a wooden porch/patio, that would make sense. Edit. Saw your reply below. No need to respond. Although, how do you know the structure is sound if the floor boards arenāt floor boarding?
I can hear everything and I hate it
Can you hear the cows, Clarice?
BAHAHA I love that movie!
it pours the milk into the bucket or else it drops the quart again
Pour one out for my apartment. Wait...
Ever consider you may be living in a building that doesn't meet building code or safety regulations?
Definitely doesn't
Milk and milk stink is the least of your worries What you think will be a worse death, collapse or fire?
Probably fire idk
At my last townhouse I never really heard my neighbors for years. Then a couple moved in that fought frequently and played loud music anytime day or night with thumping bass. I literally never wanted to be home and it was my final year at that complex since management didnāt stop them.

It all happened really quickly.
If you live in a building whose structural integrity is compromised by spilled milk, move.
I didn't even know standards for buildings could be that bad.
Yes this is the craziest part to me. They spilled milk inside their apartment and it's leaking into the downstairs apartment?! Are the floors made out of Swiss cheese? Lol
Well, no use crying over it
I laughed way to hard at this Is there a hole in your ceiling?
Floorboards aren't water tight, and nothing is separating us other than the floorboards
I can't lie, I am very confused but ok. Have them throw some bleach down to help avoid the smell š( I'm joking). Hope this doesn't happen again.
So the floorboards in the picture is what my ceiling looks like. This is an old building renovated into an apartment building. My neighbor dropped milk while bringing in her groceries and it was able to seep through the cracks. Sorry if this is still confusing! I used a bunch of pinesol so I hope it doesn't stink ahahhaha
If the ceiling is that thin that doesn't sound like it will hold us any significant weight, like a couch.
How is that...possible? I'd feel like my fat ass would break that "floor" the moment I stepped in the kitchen.How does it hold, like, furniture? This ain't adding up
It is confusing!! I live in a sort of an odd building and leaking dishwashers, washing machines, etc etc never caused leakage into the bottom apartments. I can't imagine what would happen if a larger spill occurs in your place.
Go onā¦..
Get her to drop a bucket of hot soapy water, next. Like a chaser. To clean!
I'm more confused as to why no one is mentioning the world's most ineffective bucket situation
They should be using an upsidedown umbrella
Like āwhatās a quart?ā
About 1L
Is she alive? Can you hear her moving? Most people wouldn't just let that much milk hang out on the floor.
I talked to her. She was bringing in a bunch of groceries.
What was her reason for not cleaning it up?
According to their comments the milk wasn't sitting on the floor a long time. Their floors are just very porous and allowed milk to get through unreasonably fast. I'd be apartment hunting if I were them.
Lease ends in 4 months!
Donāt forget your ceiling cheese when you move out
/r/BrandNewSentence
Best to extend the lease, 4 months and it will not be ready just yet.
Itās an investment opportunity
4 stinky months...
Just spill a bottle of detergent in the same place, doh
Pro tip: when you go to view a new apartment, bring a friend with you and get them to go upstairs to the apartment above and have them pour milk on the floor. Letās you know how porous the floors are
Wow...I mean if the floors are that bad I can't imagine what else is wrong...especially regarding general safety for the rest of the building
I mean no sense crying about it.
Bad luck then.
God help you if she ever mops her floors. Lol
It just starts raining inside OPs apartment
Like through a vent?? How long has the milk been there to seep through??
Through the shitty old floorboards. It's mostly stopped now.
It's like that one time at my friends house a mysterious liquid was dripping thru the floor boards and landed on me. It was dog pee.
Oh my god š
š
Imagine just spilling a glass of milk and by the time you come back with a rag the floor drank it all in. Can you wave at the neighbour through those floor gaps ?
Probably
You should ask her to drop a gallon of water in the same place to wash away the milk.
Came here to say this...run clean water through it to dramatically reduce the stank that's coming. Put out a plastic tarp.
So can you hear each other fart?
I can hear them cough
At my old place, I could hear the other tenants peeing.
NO CRYING

I can understand it leaking through the floorboards, but the ceiling?? Is your ceiling just the underside of the neighborās flooring?
Yeah
How??
I'm so baffled by this... No ceiling??? I really had no idea there are buildings like that other than in third world countries.
It also sounds significantly unstable!
Can you get on a step ladder and feed money through the floor boards? Maybe try it with a 20 first and just put enough through so they can see it. Then yank it down as soon as they go to grab it. We used to do this at the boardwalk. But for real how are they not falling through just loose ass floorboards this is bizarre. Also if you didn't like your upstairs neighbors you could get a can of fart spray and put one of those straws on it like you see on cans of WD40 and feed the straw through the floorboards releasing the entire can of fart into their house.
DONDE ESTA LE LECHE

Take them to quart
Many many years ago my late father ( a coroner ) told me a story of an upstairs neighbor passed away and had fell on the register vent. The downstairs neighbor didnāt know. She kept getting a spot on her carpet thinking her dog was making the mess. Never thinking to look up until a few weeks later.
Oh my god
Ok, I *would* cry over that.
Thatās gonna smell amazing in the ceiling
Bucket placement looks questionable...
Luckily, you're the bottom floor cause, based on the comments, it'd be dripping the to the floor below yours..
Actually I live above a wedding dress store sooooo hope they're doing okay
Oh god. Neverending milk waterfall š
Throw in some kitchen towel at the bottom of a bucket when youāre using it for a drip/leak. Itās dampens the impact and stops it from splashing everywhere š¤š»
That's going to smell unholy for YEARS if you don't have everything 100% replaced. Speaking from experience.
Thatās going to smell awful in a couple of days. Need to fix immediately, not just because of the obvious damage but honestly the smell will linger.
Free milk! I wish random beverages dripped from my ceiling.
Is your neighbor dead OP?
I was going to say, is the upstairs neighbor ok or did they collapse?
Yeah that will smell forever nad now
Are you sure that's milk and not water mixed with drywall?
We just found the worst possible variant of leaky roof folks
You might want to chat with the neighbour and chase it with some enzyme cleaner.
What is a quart?
Fun trivia, your upstairs neighbor could easily murder you with a CO2 canister while you sleep
New fear unlocked
Bro the fuck are you doing wipe that shit up
That's something my kids would do. Spill a drink on my wood floors then stand there and stare at it while is soaks into all the cracks while they laugh and start filming it and them laughing. They then tell me it's a game you do on tiktok.
Quart you off guard
It's pointless to cry over this sort of thing.
Well donāt start crying over it
Stick a bowl of cornflakes under it
Good idea catching it, milk is pricey
Thatās gonna smell niceš¤¦āāļø
That's fucked. My condolences, the smell, it won't be pleasant.
No use crying over it
So he left it there long enough to seep through the floor without cleaning it up?
Are you sure he isn't like passed out or dead? Why is it there long enough to drip through the ceiling? š
Talked to her! She is alive and no more milk is dropping.
Are your houses made of cardboard?
They need to lift the floor boards and clean the mess up inside the floor above your ceiling. As it will go off and smell in both apartments. Inside the floor they need to soak up as much as they can. Then use a little water and repeat twice to dilute any remaining milk. Spray with antibacterial would not do any harm too

She came back 2 days before school started and thought something died in the room. I went over and holy shit that smell. I had to wash my clothes and shower after spending 10 secs in that room.
ITT: People discovering that landlords to not give a fuck.
I would ask her to pour some water/vinegar mix in the same spot to try to wash out what's in betwixt the floors.
r/mildlyinfuriating **
Don't cry under spilled milk
My upstairs neighbor once spilled a mop bucket. It was literally raining in my apartment š
After a little heat that's going to smell wonderful
It might be ok to cry over spilt milk this time
if milk is dripping from upstairs, that building is made of paper
Got milk?
I'd be calling your state's apartment association OP. This kind of shit needs to be reported before someone dies from a caved in floor/ceiling.
So you're telling me you got free ceiling milk?
This is going to smell.... so bad.
I'm surprised at how many people think old wooden floorboards are supposed to be watertight. There's a tongue and groove fitting, and nails, but it's basically just boards butted up against each other.
Honestly, I've just never seen such a floor. It's never just some boards, right? What about insulation etc.? I just can't imagine that... you'd be able to hear through that, what a nightmare! I refuse to believe you have floors like that in the US. (If that was mistakable: I'm not living in the US but I guess OP does?)
There still needs to be subflooring etc. there should not be open holes or this much room for the milk to get through so quick. This is 100% not normal.
Ewwww. Sorry!
No, she cleaned up her milk and there wasnāt that much. Yours must be coming from somewhere else.
