Today, I spilt boiling tea all over my stomach and left leg, so I went to the hospital to get it checked out. They said I wouldn't be able to expose it to the sun for the next two months. I'm going to Barbados tomorrow. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I spilt a very hot cup of tea all over a burn I got yesterday from spilling a very hot cup of tea. FML
Today, I spilled boiling water on my legs. A coworker told me that putting mustard on the burn would heal it. I ended up at the emergency room. When people walked by I could hear them say "it smells like hot dogs". FML
Today, I went to the beach. After applying sunscreen liberally and doing my best to stay out of the sun, I came home with the worst sunburn I have ever had. I almost needed to go to the hospital. I am officially too pale to be allowed outside in summer. FML
Today, my cat knocked over a cup of scalding hot tea - but don't worry, the carpet wasn't damaged. It went all over my leg instead leaving a nice big scar for my holiday. FML
Today, I was feeling sick but went into my waitressing job because I'd already missed 3 days this week. I was dizzy and managed to spill a tray of drinks all over the customers. Then, when their food was done, I tripped and spilled hot chili all over the man's lap. FML
Today, I went to get a nice, relaxing hot stone massage. Instead I got second degree burns on my legs. FML
Today, I stayed home from work because I'd had diarrhea for 24 hours and my gut felt horrible. I decided to at least enjoy some sun on my back porch in my swing chair. I stepped on an old board and my leg fell through to the knee, I couldn't move, and I was home alone. My neighbor cut the board that got me out. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office to get my yearly check up. Soon after I got home, I threw up and somehow had a fever. FML
Today, the first day of my 4-day weekend, I fell off my scooter. I'll have to spend the rest of my vacation bandaged and away from water. I'm on a beach. FML
Today, I got sunburnt to a crisp on the first day of my holidays away. Only 5 more days to go now, spent inside, trying not to burn more. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just wear a one-piece (if you're a girl)! If you're a guy, just keep a t-shirt on. it's not that bad. You can still have fun :D

The doctors have a reason for things. They don't prescribe you or advise you just to make your life harder. I don't see why anyone would thumb your comment up.

I got boiling OIL on my FACE the other day. How do I protect THAT from the sun? :-/ Well I'll be lucky if it fades even with no sun... Anyway I sympathize, this really sucks. FYL.

I'm a ginger. I can barely expose my skin to the sun at all. I feel your pain. FYL

ahhh that sucks. the SAME thing happened to me a few years ago, except it was my right leg instead of my left. they never said anything to me about sun exposure. they gave me special cream for it. just cover it with something while laying out. yes, everything else on your body will be tanner than your leg and stomach, but whatever atleast you'll get to lay out anyway! btw everyone who's saying to put suncreen on, it wouldn't help at all. the sun will just burn it up still. also, when i had my burn, i couldn't wear pants/shorts because it hurt too much. :|

maybe (and this is purely a suggestion) you should skip out on Barbados and take a spelling/grammar class instead. Again...just a suggestion.

#51- it's actually worse when you're wearing clothes...the boiling water makes the clothes stick to your skin and help tear it off, and it stops the water from just trickling off you because clothes hold wetness. in other words, ouch.
