Today, it was hot out, so I wore shorts. My dad took one look at me and said, "Your thighs are so pale, it's like staring into the sun". FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I asked my mom if she thought I looked skinny in my shorts. She jiggled my leg fat, looked up at me and walked away. FML
Today, it was hot out, so I opted to stay cool and wear my bathing suit all day. My mom took it as me rubbing in the fact that I'm thinner than her and grounded me. FML
Today, sun was shining and I felt confident enough to go sunbathing at the beach. In only my bikini and towel, I laid out to get some sun. A while later, a little girl came up to me and said, "Aren't you embarrassed that you're so huge?" FML
Today, I was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML
Today, I was told to rub in my sunscreen because I looked like a ghost. I wasn't wearing any. I'm just that white. FML
Today, my dad came to pick me up. It would have been nicer if he'd had his clothes on. FML
Today, I had just finished a really intense workout in my garage gym. It was chilly outside, but I crossed the road home in my shorts, as I was still pretty hot and sweaty. A woman walked by and asked, "Aren't you cold, you skinny little whore?" FML
Today, my parents think it's so hot outside that it's okay for them to work in the garden naked. FML
Today, I'm so pale that I managed to get a sunburn while sitting in a bus. FML
Today, I was really badly sunburnt, so I put on some after-sun. The only type we have has glitter in it, and now I look like a sparkling tomato. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There's always that awkward stage when shorts weather comes around. I had that same issue! I don't like going tanning so I blind the world until the brightness lessens. Lol. You're not alone, OP!

I'd rather be pale than grossly tan

Wait till he's old and his skin is fragile from all the sun damage. And yours is not. At least, not if you don't get too much sun. Go work in a nursing home and it will really open your eyes to how much damage sun exposure does. Old people with the nastiest, most fragile and discoloured skins on face and limbs still have skin like newborn on parts of their bodies that stayed covered up. After seeing that I'm happy to take the comments about people needing sunglasses around me

My dad's neck looks so bad at the end of summer, all red and such. He never wears sunscreen

by the time people reach the nursing home stage. . . they don't care what their skin looks like, I assure you.

I have the same issue, lame dad remarks and all. However at least I am not orange or looking like raw hide lol. There's nothing wrong with pale skin op, rock those shorts.

I know what it's like. My husband makes that sort of comment to me whenever my legs are exposed.

I can't really tan. So it's like that for me all year round. My thighs might be a shade or two darker than the parts that don't see the sun, however; I'm not much darker than a sheet of white paper..

My mom puts on that fake tanning stuff that gradually tans your skin--she can't tan either. Maybe try that if you're really self-conscious about it? I prefer to blind everyone in the vicinity, but that's just me though.
