Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Spring cleaning
Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weed-whacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgot that I was mowing where the dogs take dumps, I absentmindedly whacked over dog poop… which got flung into my face. FML

Bee plot
Today, I started my job as an assistant to a beekeeper. I forgot to put gloves on, and got stung like crazy. My hands swelled up to the size of baseball gloves. Turns out, I'm allergic to bees. FML
Itchy
Today, I found out I'm allergic to soil, pollen, dust, mold, the colors green, yellow, orange, black and grey, most metals, wood, carpet, drywall, most hygiene and beauty products, and plastic. Basically, I was told to avoid the entire planet and everything man-made. FML

Today, I had to be rushed to the hospital when I started sneezing uncontrollably and got a huge rash. It turns out I'm highly allergic to a chemical in most cleaning supplies. Great. I just got a job as a house cleaner for a very rich family. FML

Today, I found out that I am allergic to one of the preservatives that they put in aloe. I found this out after I put some on a severe sunburn I have. Not only am I sunburned, but now I am severely itchy as well. FML

Today, I tried to do my leaf collection project for biology, which ended with me being hospitalized because of an allergy attack. I have no idea what I'm allergic to, but my doctor says I should just assume I'm "allergic to all leaves, ever." FML

How did you not find this out earlier?

Nose mask, protective eyewear and lots of Zertec or Clariton for you my friend. The other choice is to learn the following phrase: "Would you like fries with that?" Good luck

Little kids nowadays are pampered by their parents. They buy them all sorts of toys and videogames so they don't get dirty. The downside with this is that, as they never played with dirt during childhood, they don't acquire the natural defenses required for survival in the wild. Their immunological system hasn't been allowed to develop, so they end up with all sorts of stupid alergies like this one. A dirty child is a healthy child.

76- So people with allergies to peanuts just weren't exposed to enough peanuts as a child? And people who are allergic to latex, their parents are terrible parents because they didn't expose their child to gloves or condoms? What great logic you have.

76 - What you're babbling about - dirty children having more defense against diseases is somewhat true. BUT, it does NOT apply to allergies and too much exposure to the wrong thing can cause death. Do you really want to expose your kid to smallpox thinking, just like with chickenpox, they'll supposedly come out of it immune? No, your child will be dead. Use your head.
