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.

#7. you are the idiot. i was implying that the OP should disregard the doctors orders and still go out and have fun on his/her vacation. Because honestly, i think that a lot of doctors just give out loads of bullshit

#6: If you expose a new burn to another heat source, it will continue to burn. Just like if you were to put hot food that you had just taken out of a pot/pan and set it beside a hot fire, it would go on cooking, whereas cold food might get a little warm, but not do that. Heat collects, and it lingers in skin burns. OP: I'm so sorry, what a bummer! It will be painful for a few days for sure. Hopefully you can be in happy margaritaville to numb it a little! Meanwhile, just put bandaging over the burns and if it tans funny, so be it. There's always fake tanner for later. Have a good trip! :)

@ #18: Both spilled and spilt are correct. Past participles ending in -ed are more common in American English, but the -t endings are more common in British English.

I don't know about this.. I spilled hot soup on my legs once and all the doctor did was give me an ointment and said I'd be fine in the sun as long as I put the cream on and some sunscreen. And it healed up in 5 days.
