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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Foolish mortals! Now you know the pain of going outside and having "fun"! You need to be more like me, an elite humanoid, and stay inside doing nothing! You are the first of your kind to realize the pain the sun can bring upon you!

I am very pale. I went to the beach sat under an umbrella and coated with sunblock SPF 50 at least every 30 minutes and still got burnt in the 2 hours I was out there. Just part of being that fair skinned. I like all the tanning tips. Some people just dont tan even in moderation.

Maybe you're allergic to the UV rays like me? No matter how much sunscreen I put on, I burn. Twice as fast, twice as painful/itchy.

He's from Baltimore and asked something like that so I'm sure he thinks America is the only place in the world. Dear idiot, OP obviously lives on another planet where for some reason it's summer.

This is exactly what happened to me last year when I went to a festival. I applied sunscreen every hour or so and I came home extremely sunburnt. I was in agony every day. it sucked changing shirts that's for sure.
