Today, I got a really bad sunburn. On my eyelids. Who knew blinking could be so painful? FML

Today I got sunburned on my cheeks. This wouldn't be too bad if they were the ones on my face. FML

Leave it to the pros
Today, I was attempting to tame my bushy eyebrows, since I'm starting a new job in a few days and need to look somewhat presentable, when I poked myself in the eye. Hard. I thought I’d blinded myself for a few moments. Now it’s just red, sore and watery. 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, I realized how exhausted I was when I mixed up my eye makeup remover with toner. My eye still burns. FML

Today, I got the worst sunburn I've ever had in my life, and then discovered I'm allergic to aloe when I went to treat the burn with some gel. FML

Today, I woke up with a pimple on my eyelid. Not only is it impossible to cover up with makeup, I can't pop it either. Now I'll be spending the rest of the day trying not to blink. FML

Today, I put aftershave on my fingers to encourage myself to stop biting my nails. I absentmindedly rubbed my eye a few minutes later. It burnt like hell. 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, after an extremely hard day at work, I took a hot shower to wind down a little bit. I accidentally splashed a painful amount of hot water and shampoo in my eyes. My left contact is now stuck to my eyeball. FML

I once had a scratch on my eye ball. It hurt for weeks, it's the Worst pain EVER. And it got scratch by wood shavings.

If only they made some form of glasses meant to shield your eyes from the sun...

SI know this will probably get me negative votes but yeahh dude, it's obvious this is fake :L your eyelids aren't the same skin as the rest of your body and are impossible to get burnt... Do your research before FMLing, buddy ;)

I've heard that before. The reason you wear eye goggles/stickies when tanning at a booth is to protect you eyeballs not your eyelids.

The average person blinks around 15000 times a day and sunburn lasts 2 days depending on how bad it is so 15000+15000=30000 times of pain Sucks for you
