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.

All my friends have the same problem. I go pink and get really hot, but my skin's brown the next day. That's after using extreme amounts of sunscreen. I live near a beach and yet the most burnt I've ever been was visiting Melbourne the other week and it was raining the whole time. Weird.

Yes, in January. You should have learnt this at school. But basically, the southern hemisphere has the opposite seasons to the northern, and as the OP is from Australia, it's summer for her.

She's a Ginger dumbass. She isn't a daywalker where she can go outside.

Usually I'd say me too, but this past summer I spent 3 days in South Padre (Texas/Mexico Border), and i applied waterproof SPF 50 sunblock every 45 mins. When i got home, the only spot burnt was on my back where my bf neglected his duties! I had absolutely no tan, but I'd rather be pasty than burnt... :D
