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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Ouch :-( I'm not a fan of tanning because it's bad for you, but that does suck about your vacation. Try to have fun anyway! :-)

Too bad you can't spell worth a crap. Hopefully when you see the word SPILLED, in Barbados, you'll know what it means.

#65- At no point did the OP say he told the doctor about his plans, nor did the doctor tell him not to go have fun. the doctor told him not to expose the burns to extreme sun, and you said "screw the doctor." yeah, sorry i took you to mean "screw the doctor and expose those burned skin-patches to sun!" Doctor's for the most part aren't idiots who bullshit their patients. it's completely true that exposing burned skin to extreme sunlight is really a dumb thing to do. So i must say, again, that you are an idiot

I know some people are saying that u have to follow the advice of the doctor, but u don't. It's not the smartest thing to do, but it wont kill u if u expose it to sunlight.

So....cover it up. It's not exactly going to ruin a holiday.

just hang out in the hotel room. that sounds like a really good time to me, and im not even being sarcastic. i dont think sunscreen would be very good for it so i wouldnt try that. and i think the sun rays would like go thru the bathing suit or something. but honestly if you find a nice hotel it could make it better for you =)
