If you don't mind having your milk grow bacteria, turn sour, then become a runny and sour version of cottage cheese; leave it out of the refrigerator all the time. Depending on the type of bacteria growing in the milk it could just be unpleasantly sour or it could make you sick or possibly kill you!

This is also why milk is usually pasteurized: to kill any bacteria that happen to be in the milk, preventing illness caused by spoiled milk and extending the shelf life of the milk in the store.
