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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML
Today, after applying sunscreen to myself every two hours, I still got sunburned. Through my clothes. 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, one of my work colleagues was staring at my severe sunburn. She wanted to know if she could "peel" me, when my sunburn becomes "ripe", because she loves the sound. She won't take no for an answer, and I work with her everyday this week. FML
Today, I went to an amusement park with my family. I was the only one who put on sunblock, and the only one who got a sunburn. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
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
Today, I went on a camping trip with my friends, but forgot to bring sunscreen. I spent the entire day outside and ended up with a severe sunburn all over my body. The pain is unbearable and I can't even move without yelping as if I was slowly being cooked in an air fryer. FML
Today I got sunburned on my cheeks. This wouldn't be too bad if they were the ones on my face. FML
Today, I got sunburnt to a crisp on the first day of my holidays away. Only 5 more days to go now, spent inside, trying not to burn more. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sounds horrible... you know what's worse? Melanoma! Be pale and pasty it's sexy too haven't you ever seen twilight? ;p FYL!

You know what's also terrible? Vitamin D deficiency. You can't win!
leadman1989 16
Um... nowhere near as bad a melanoma. Besides there are other ways to get vitamin D. :)

OP lives in Texas. It's still warm there.

But it's nowhere near as rare as melanoma, and also quite terrible depending on the severity. I've had it. It's quite common actually, and the other sources of vitamin D don't get absorbed as well. 10 minutes of sun a day isn't going to damage your skin enough to cause melanoma by itself.

Touché You're absolutely right there are bounds of reason for both being tan and being pale. You shouldn't look like a corpse and you shouldn't look like an oompalompa. But if you do go for either extreme just make sure you get regular health check ups. :) 40 - ???

Sunscreen is not proven to protect against skin cancer, and in fact is much more likely to cause it. A better idea to protect yourself against sunburn is not to stay out in the sun for too long. If you have to, then very gradually build up a base tan first. Also, consuming certain foods can naturally help your body shield itself more efficiently.

Actually, the FDA has now made it a requirement for sunscreen to protect across both the UVB and UVA spectrum. No company can sell their product without being certified. And anyway, sunscreen has always lowered chances of cancer even before this requirement. I take my sunscreen very seriously, skin cancer seems to run in my family.

66, I haven't the time to go back and find my source, but I'll look because I want to double check regardless. And the FDA? Seriously? If you actually think those guys care about your health, I'm concerned for you. These are the same money driven assfaces that recommend artificial sweeteners over real sugar, and other things I care not to remember at the moment. There is no money in making you healthy, as I believe Bill Maher said. It's the truth.

Why not?

Why would you even be commenting now? Shouldn't you be out humping a cactus somewhere, you cynical prick?

This is entirely your fault. You shouldn't have let yourself get sunburned. If you burn easily, stay out of the sun and always use sunscreen. It's really not that hard. Besides, it's not even summer anymore.

It's 98 degrees and sunny as hell where I'm at. Just case the calendar says fall doesn't mean it isn't "summer" anymore in terms of heat and weather.
LinaLyssic 12
Sorry, I think I missed a sentence. But still YDI, if you get burned that easily you should stay out of the sun as much as possible. And maybe get better sunscreen?
erkaka1367 0
No it's really not there fault op might just burn easy,people can use sunscreen and still get burned. "stay out of the sun"? That kinda ruins the point of summer,it takes forever for these stories to get posted on the website so it was prolly summer when the put it on here

Ya stupid ginger! Didn't you notice one of your "friends" had swapped your sunscreen with bacon grease?
ShroomsOnAcid 17
Maybe that's what actually happened to the bacon smelling vegetarian.
