Today, I had four separate allergic reactions. The first from the pillow at the hotel I was staying at, the second and third from two separate ice cream parlors due to cross-contamination, and the fourth from peanut dust in the air on the plane ride home from my vacation. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML
Today, I had a serious allergic reaction to the food I ate at a Chinese restaurant that supposedly didn't contain peanuts. According to my waitress, peanut oil "doesn't count". FML
Today, I finally decided to try an alternative to peanut butter, since I found out I was allergic a while back. Two hours later I had to be sent home because the allegedly allergen-free SunButter caused my lips and throat to swell and patches of rashes to form all over my body. FML
Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML
Today, I went to the ice cream shop after dinner. I am deathly allergic to nuts so I picked the vanilla. I take one bite and feel something crunchy, and see what I thought was an almond in the cup. I spit out the icecream in a panic. Good news? It wasn't an almond. Bad news? It was a cockroach. FML
Today, alone on Valentine's day, I decided to eat chocolate and watch romantic comedies in bed. I had an allergic reaction to the chocolate which sent me to the ER. FML
Today, I found out I have a new allergy: the sun. My face is so swollen that it has started to bleed to relieve the pressure. Today is also day 6 of the 3-month European trip that I spent all year saving for. FML
Today, I found out that my "mosquito bite" was in fact a jellyfish sting I got in Mexico, which has caused me to break out into horrendous hives in the airport waiting for the flight home. It's okay though, the plane is only delayed for 7 hours. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe your next vacation should be a staycation in a bubble.

I'd recommend Peter Hans "Pete" Docter, an American film director, animator, screenwriter, producer and voice actor who has directed such feature films as Monsters, Inc., Up, and Inside Out. Pete seems like he'd have some interesting ideas for adapting OP's humorous day into a film.

Food allergies are the wurst... It's one of the meanest thing Mother Nature throws at us. Fortunately I'm only mildly allergic to soy. Perfect excuse to never touch tofu or other soy products ever in my whole life

I think I'm allergic to idiots around me. Can someone please remove all the idiots from the world?

Too big a job. But it's a great idea to request that all idiots be removed from my next flight. "Excuse me please, but I'm allergic to screaming babies and everyone who hasn't bathed today. "

Maybe you should just stay home.

I'm pretty sure if I got a contamination allergy at an ice cream shop, I'd lay off icecream for the rest of the day at least. Your dedication to obtaining that cone is commendable.

I also wouldn't expect most ice cream parlors to be able to completely eliminate cross contamination. They won't have the separate facilities and utensils for any potential ice cream allergen.
