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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
Today, I'm so pale that I managed to get a sunburn while sitting in a bus. 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 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, after applying sunscreen to myself every two hours, I still got sunburned. Through my clothes. FML
Today, a day after I went to the beach and fell asleep in the sun without applying sunscreen, I woke up to find myself looking like a lobster, with the worst tan lines possible. On top of that, I had to go to a wedding, and when I walked in, my cousin asked if I had “taken a bath in some tomato soup.” 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 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 was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML

You were probably just outside for TOO long. Everything has to be in moderation.

That sucks. You will probably have to go to the beach wearing those long sleeve sun shirts and long shorts. They actually look nice and something you can wear at the beach without sticking out. you can get them at REI and backcountry dot com websites.

You can also get a nasty sunburn in winter, especially if there is snow on the ground. My friend and I went snowboarding yesterday. I wore sunscreen and my friend didn't. By the time we left, her face and neck was burned except where her goggles covered her eyes.

Nah it's actually pretty cool getting to steal souls while riding my one toothed walrus through the waves of sand in the sahara desert while eating whole grain frosted flakes without a spoon.

Actually the rest of the world isn't ******* wrapped up in their own country. I have never once seen an Australian comment on something like it's hot in July with "Are you stupid? It's winter!" You Americans don't understand the idiots that make up such a high percentage of your population, that's why we hate Americans in general.

I hate the sun.. I prefer cloudy, partly cloudy, rain, snow, tornado or hurricane. The only way sunny is nice for me is if it's cold

At least no one mistook you for a vampire and asked if you've seen Edward Cullen.

What's up with all the minuses with each comment lateley? So much trolling? Anyway, OP, if you get sunburned so bad you might had to go to the hospital you never noticed anything? Not even feel ill or get an headache from the heat? Now know some people can get sunburns really fast, but that fast and that bad? I feel sorry for you, but try to go to a indoor/outdoor pool or something.
