Today, I thought I would make my first trip to the beach. While in the water, I was stung by a jellyfish. My friend had to pee on me. I went back into the water to wash the pee off and got stung by another jellyfish. FML

Did you make your friend pee on you again? Did you stare at his/her genitals while they peed? Did a lot of pee get on an area that wasn't stung? It's this sort of information that leaves me unable to choose between FML/YDI.

Haha. I got stung by a jellyfish a few years ago.. no piss necessary. A few painkillers, one ointment cream, and two hours laying down with my leg elevated sent the pain away. Sucks to be you.

Current research suggests that vinegar may precipitate nematocyst firing from certain stings, while for others will only succeed in preventing firing of undischarged nematocysts. The best thing is to use hot water.

37, it's either. That sucks. FYL for getting peed on and FYL for getting stung twice.

actually #23, it is NOT scientifically proven. Not even a little bit. "First, don't believe the rumors. Peeing on a stung bit of skin won't do much to relieve suffering, and you'll suffer some odd stares, too, doctors say. Urine has not been scientifically proven to help in jellyfish stings, said Dr. Paul Auerbach, an emergency physician at Stanford University Hospital and an expert on jellyfish stings.

#52, you do realize that there are actual painful jelly fish outside of Australia? Sure, they might not kill, but still, they hurt.

I can honestly say that I fricken laughed out loud at this one. xD You got pissed on by a friend, and got stung TWICE in the same day. FYL. But also YDI for not noticing the jellyfish. But then again, some of them are a pain in the ass to see in water... UGH THE CONFLICT.
