Today, it was boiling hot so my boyfriend and I decided to sunbathe in the garden and ended up falling asleep for a few hours. Not only is my back so burnt that I can't lie down, I also have a white hand print on my upper back where my boyfriend had left his arm while we slept. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend and I went to the beach. I though he was being really sweet by putting sunscreen on my back as I layed on my stomach. I got home later, and felt that my back was sore. Then I saw the giant penis on my back that been burnt in. FML
Today, I was tanning by the pool. My friend put his arms under my back and knees and picked me up. He threw me across the kiddy pool to my boyfriend, shouting "Catch!" My boyfriend didn't catch me. Instead of a tan, I have a huge bruise. FML
Today, I wanted my boyfriend to come over for a backyard wiener roast. Because it was so hot outside, he told me he didn't want to. Eventually, I talked him into it telling him it would be fine. He's now still asleep on the couch with heat stroke. 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 woke up to find some really weird stuff in my bed. We just got back from vacation in Florida, and my husband burned really bad. I woke up to his peeled off skin all over my face. FML
Today, I decided to lay out and tan. I fell asleep and got sun burned and bitten numerous times by mosquitoes. If I scratch my itch, the burn hurts terribly. If I don't scratch it, it itches terribly. FML
Today, I woke up with a rash all across my body. Last night, my boyfriend and I got it on in some bushes, and it seems one of those was poison ivy. FML
Today, it was lovely outside so I decided to tan outside. I burn pretty easily, so I put on sunscreen. I fell asleep on my side, so when I woke up, I had a massive burn on only one side of my body, with sunglass lines. Tomorrow, I have a job interview. I'm going to go in looking like a racoon. FML
Today, I passed out while I was with my boyfriend in his garden. I woke up on the concrete just outside his house. Apparently, he'd tried to carry me in, but because he was too weak, he gave up and went to watch TV. FML
Today, what started as an amazing day with hiking, a picnic, more hiking, then a romantic nature walk, ended in a ridiculous screaming match between me and my boyfriend. I only asked him to shower before laying in our bed when we got home, since we were covered in sweat, bug bites and dirt. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Also, if it was boiling hot, why would you voluntarily go outside...where it's boiling hot?

You know, there is this new thing called sunscreen. Ever heard of it?

Oh no! I am very prone to sunburns also so I know where you're coming from. Not only does aloe help, but keep a fan on your back, it will feel even colder. Send the sunshine up to New Hampshire...We've had nothing but rain for the past 3 weeks :-(

Why is everyone jumping all over the OP about skin cancer? Is it because some of you guys really care about her health, or is it just an excuse to be bitchy today? =

Let me get this straight, it was boiling hot and you should probably know that the sun makes you calm and sleepy, plus i'm sure that you can get skin damage, but you still decided to sun bathe!! IN YOUR BACKYARD!! I hope you weren't naked ahahaha, but anyways.. that's funny. When people see you, they know that you have a boyfriend because you been MARKED!!

if it's so hot OUTSIDE, you take your happy ass INSIDE where there's AC (if you have it).

Most people here don't have AC, I've never seen any available to buy it either. But it still would have been cooler inside. Keep the curtains shut and the windows open, that should keep it cool. Not as effective as AC, but it's all you can do....

Aw, the burn sucks. :( But having a handprint on your upper back is actually kind of neat. If you wanna minimize the flaking and pain, hop over to a CVS/Walgreens/Eckerd and buy some of that really cheap aloe vera gel - usually blue or green, and with bubbles in it - and spread it all over your back (the bf would probably be useful here). If you keep that on there pretty consistently - maybe 2 or 3 applications a day - you shouldn't have much flaking and you should be able to keep your tan -- not to mention it feeling SO MUCH better when you put it on (it feels cooling, and you can even get kinds with lidocaine.) Hope it heals quick :) And guys, seriously. It's really okay for humans to be out in the sun for a little while. Most of us could probably benefit from a little less time on the computer and a little more time outdoors. Obviously she didn't mean to fall asleep out there.

YDI for letting him lay his hand there. Did you not think that would happen, even if you didn't fall asleep?

you're a moron. he could've fallen asleep after her. thus she wouldn't have known. and this really isn't an FML. "OMG I got sunburnt cuz I'm an idiot!!!!" I seriously hope this site adds a "who cares?" button.
