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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
Today, I went to a tanning salon. I guess nobody mentioned that you have to lift your fat rolls or you'll end up with weird stripes where the spray never reached. 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 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 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, I went to the tanning bed. I laid down in the bed and turned it on and the fan started blowing. There was a terrible smell and I thought it was the person before me. Then I realized it was just the fan blowing my sweaty feet towards my face. FML
Today, my sister thought it would be funny to spray my face with my new tanning spray, which is only supposed to be used on arms and legs. I woke up and looked in the mirror to see an orange blotchy face staring back at me. My parents can't look at me without laughing. FML
Today, I decided to try a self-tanning lotion my friend had recommended. I put it on, and decided to take a nap. I woke up later and checked myself in the mirror, expecting to see a new, more tanned version of myself. I didn't. I'm now orange. FML
Today, I got a spray tan. The lady asked what shade I wanted to be, and joking, I said the darkest. She took it seriously. Now no one can recognize me, and I have work tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least you're trying to prevent skin cancer by avoiding the tanning bed!

I suggest sticking to a tanning bed next time. That is hilarious. Oh, and what is the significance of lotion on the feet? Why do they tell you to do it?

Plus, you know, you could just match the season and tan in the sun, actually you can do that any season and it still be free.

lotion on the bottom of your feet (which is also used on your palms) prevents them from getting that orangey/dirty look (especially between the toes/fingers), since when you step to turn around, some of the spray might be on the floor.

This is why tanning is stupid. I am sure you are beautiful without it.

#5 you can still get cancer from tanning salons. When you get a tan it's actually damaging the DNA in your skin cells and that's how you get cancer. A tan is really just sun damage, that's why they fade.

You need to be intelligent before you try to prove a point. Spray tanning is the safe alternative to a tanning bed or sun tanning. It is artificial and doesn't burn the skin. It is not bad to spray tan. I don't do it but OP shouldn't be judged for trying to do something in the safest way possible. It only makes sense

I do not understand the fascination with being tan. Why don't people like their natural skin colors?
