Today, I got a spray tan for homecoming. While I was dancing, I got really sweaty and the spray tan rubbed off on the guy's white tux. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was getting ready for the school swimming carnival and was running very late. I reached for my deodorant and sprayed it on. It was only when I was at the pool that I realized I had accidentally grabbed the spray tan and covered my underarms in it. FML
Today, I went to get my spray tan before my semi-formal. After I applied lotion to the bottom of my feet as instructed, I went in the booth and began to start the tanning session. I lost my balance and fell right as the machine began to spray. I look like a spotted cheetah. FML
Today, before a big formal banquet, I went tanning because I wanted to look good in my cocktail dress. I got out of the tanning bed only to realize that I had left my socks on. FML
Today, I used the tanning booth for the first time. Not only was I so white that I received first-degree burns all over my body, but I also forgot to remove my knee-high socks. FML
Today, while running late to my sister's wedding and rushing to get ready, I accidentally grabbed my travel size shaving cream can in place of my body spray, and quickly drew a blue foaming line across my rental tux. FML
Today, I got a spray tan for the first time. Naked, I climbed into the booth. When the machine started I became frightened by the loud roar of the spray and couldn't breathe. I pissed myself out of fear. I now have river-like streaks down both legs where the pee washed my tan away. FML
Today, I was tanning by the pool. My friend put his arms under my back and knees and picked me up. He threw me across the kiddy pool to my boyfriend, shouting "Catch!" My boyfriend didn't catch me. Instead of a tan, I have a huge bruise. FML
Today, I decided to get a spray tan. I'm now more orange than the current president of the United States. FML
Today, I decided to spray tan myself. Five minutes later, I had to pee, so I did. Not only do I now have two orange stripes on my toilet bowl, but I also have two big white stripes on the back of my thighs. FML
Today, I went out clubbing with a few friends. A cute guy pointed at me from the bar and motioned for me to come over. I was excited and did just that. Turns out he just wanted to ask me if I'd thought about seeing a doctor for my jaundice. No, I just overdid my spray tan. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for getting a fake tan. Period.

Sounds horrific. At least you used a spray instead of natural sunlight, thereby dodging cancer. Unless, of course, that spray tan causes cancer in your species as well. That wouldn't surprise me at all. It would just be par for the course: you dodge one thing just to throw yourself at something worse. Life. Don't talk to me about life.

I accidentally clicked FYL but then i clicked YDI. This is disgusting. 1: Why did you get a spray Tan, what is so good about looking Hispanic/Middle Eastern/South Asian 2: Why didn't you get it before 3: Why would you keep on dancing if you're already that sweaty

The IDEA of spray tans is to make you look sunkissed. Not so dark you look a different ethnicity. Yes, people screw them up. But that's not the person's intention when they go out to get a spray tan. Oh, and you would only need to be very mildly sweaty for a fresh spray tan to come off. Nobody stops dancing when they're that un-sweaty.

And that, children, is why we get spray tans a few days BEFORE the special event.

people need to realise a few things: 1) STOP RECOMMENDING NATURAL TANS. SERIOUSLY. As someone who has grown up in the skin cancer capital of the WORLD, I can tell you that if you have a tan from the sun you are far more likely to end up getting skin cancer, ESPECIALLY if you were very pale to start with. Fortunately people who are born with tan or olive skin have a better resistance to it, but even they are susceptible too. Even lying unprotected in the sun for ten minutes a day during peak UV hours (normally between 10am and 3pm) can end up leaving you with cancer fifteen years down the track. I've even heard of people under 25 with skin cancer. 2) Spray tans do NOT always leave you looking like an oompa loompa. I have never had a spray tan so I'm not defending myself here. But if you go to someone who knows what they are doing, you will not end up looking like you got attacked by an orange crayon. So just because you don't like the oompa loompa look doesn't mean someone shouldn't get a spray tan. It means they should go to a reputable business for it. 3) Natural tans will also damage your skin so that you end up with dry, wrinkly skin fifteen or twenty years down the track. I've seen some people so badly tanned that they look like that even under the age of 30. Not an attractive look. So really, if you want to end up with attractive skin in the long run, natural tans are the worst idea (unless your sort of natural tan is the sort you're born with!)
