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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a day after I went to the beach and fell asleep in the sun without applying sunscreen, I woke up to find myself looking like a lobster, with the worst tan lines possible. On top of that, I had to go to a wedding, and when I walked in, my cousin asked if I had “taken a bath in some tomato soup.” FML
Today, I was badly sunburnt even after making it a point to apply a lot of sunscreen. My coworkers thought it amusing to slap me every chance they get. FML
Today, after applying sunscreen to myself every two hours, I still got sunburned. Through my clothes. FML
Today, I'm on vacation and stupidly bought the cheapest sunblock I could find. Instead of protecting my skin, the sunblock acted as a damn lightning rod for the sun, and I now look like I just spent a few hours on a spit-roast. 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, it was lovely outside so I decided to tan outside. I burn pretty easily, so I put on sunscreen. I fell asleep on my side, so when I woke up, I had a massive burn on only one side of my body, with sunglass lines. Tomorrow, I have a job interview. I'm going to go in looking like a racoon. FML
Today, I went to the store and bought some cream to help with a sunburn I'd gotten a few days ago. What's worse than having red, peeling, and painful skin? An allergic reaction on top of it. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, my daughter and I went to the carnival and had our faces painted. When we returned home hours later, I realized I have a deep sunburn all around my face, except for the skin under the paint in the shape of a gecko. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Better than a sparkling vampire. Attack of the killer tomatoes was a much better movie anyway.

At least you don't look like a sparkling vampire
efemel94 7
I remember when vampires were cool like in "blade"; now they may as well wear tutus and sing ABBA songs passionately :(
jizzwold 21
What in gods name is ABBA?
efemel94 7
The musical equivalent of a hot dog, minus the mustard and plus a steaming turd.
jizzwold 21
In that case I'm glad I've never heard of it.

I bet you posted this on Facebook, too.

This is what happens when the Cullens go on vacation in Hawaii

Shut up guys, I happen to enjoy ABBA. Money money money

Lol. Big mistake forgetting sunscreen.

I understand not liking ABBA, but how the **** can you not know them? Mamma Mia? Dancing Queen? Seriously, how have those songs not reached your ears at least once?
jizzwold 21
I don't listen to the radio so maybe that's it.

72 - Goat's Milk is excellent for sunburn fading. Black tea is great too. As well as hot compresses, plain yogurt, and aloe. The After-Sun is usually just for moisturising purposes, so use the actual aloe vera. The best thing for a sun burn is hydration, cold compresses, and tons of sleep. Please use sunscreen/sunblock in the future!! Your skin will thank you.

Ugh I mean cold compresses...

When those big breasted tomatoes go to the beach... They take their tops off!

Maybe the sparkles will distract people from the redness :]

. ugh rubberduckie beat me!

Keep your pants on you two. I don't need to see that.
rubberduckie94 13
Sorry. I got lucky on the time I clicked on the site.
perdix 31
Don't worry about it, rubberduckie, great minds think alike, . . ., and so do the demented ones ;)

Not bitching, but I love how people like Perdix so much they thumb him up when his comment doesn't make shit sense.
perdix 31
I wish those people were around when my comment got buried and I got a death threat.
xXCherrryBombXx 6
well perdix does make sense, so your comment is irrelevant here.

I was thinking if Sean White and Edward Cullen had a baby it would be OP

Thats attractive!

This would have been way funnier if there had been a reference to twilight...
redbluegreen 41
I for one am incredibly grateful that there was no reference to Twilight. There are way too many FMLs that do.

You must look like what a fairy would eat.
JustTemporary 24
That might explain why the Fairys in Twilight sparkle v.v much like how Flamingos are pink, orange, or white because of what they eat.

They make after-sun with glitter? o_o

Ikr I want that D':
courtneyann211 10
Yep, I believe it's by banana boat. I have it and will never use it again because the glitter doesn't come off no matter how much you scrub in the shower. It's like it soaks into your skin with the lotion

83, that just makes me want it more...

It's better to be a sparkly tomato than have to deal with peeling skin.
False_Stupidity 42
But if your skin peels, you get to peel of the flakes and eat them...
