Painful, beach and Health: Mr Burns

Mr Burns

By ScarletBuckeye - 09/07/2016 16:38

Today, I didn't want to get sand in my shoes, so I walked down to the beach barefoot. The sand was so hot that it burned the soles of my feet. I now have blisters across the bottom of my feet and between my toes… but at least there's no sand in my shoes. FML

Today, whilst on the toilet at the mall, I took my new designer sandals off as my feet were blistered. Not even a second later, a hand reached out from under the stall, grabbed my sandals and disappeared. I had to walk home a mile barefoot. In the burning heat. FML

Today, I wore a new pair of shoes to work. By lunchtime, my feet were covered in blisters and I had to limp my way through the rest of the day. FML

Today, at the beach, my son was screaming and crying because the sand was burning his feet. I told him to put on his sandals. He got mad and threw them in the ocean, then started crying harder when he realized they were gone. He's now hiding under the bed in the condo and is refusing to come out. FML

Today, I went outside for a cigarette since I don't like smoking in the house. When I was done, I stomped it out. I wasn't wearing shoes. FML

Beach bummer

Today, I was swimming at the beach. At the end of the day, I felt a huge hard lump in between my toes. When I looked closer and pushed on it, it sounded and felt exactly like a bean bag. I had a blister from the day before and it had filled with sand. I had to cut it open to pour the sand out. FML

Today, while hiking and wearing sandals, I stubbed my toe. This wouldn't have been so bad had it not been into a cactus with 3 inch thorns. FML

Today, I was feeling stressed about some upcoming exams, so I went on a nice relaxing nature walk through the nearby bushland. I slipped off a rock and landed in knee-deep mud that claimed my shoe when I pulled my leg free. I'm even more stressed now. FML

A little stiff and rusty

By Footloose - 11/09/2023 14:30

Today, I went for a run to get in shape for the first time in ages. I put on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Halfway through, the sole of one shoe came off, and I had to hobble back home in embarrassment. FML

Today, I saw a news story about how wearing flip-flops is dangerous. I scoffed at the ridiculous study and went about my business. Three hours later I accidentally ripped off my toenail. While wearing flip-flops. FML

Today, I put my house shoes on without socks, but felt a rock in them. I shook it free and out dropped a half-crushed roach. FML

Was there any water nearby to walk near / cool off your feet? I have always found the wet sand easier to bear in the middle of summer.

You should've just put your shoes back on

They obviously knew that sand was hot as soon as they stepped on it and should have thought to immediately put their shoes back on. It's common sense. Why is #1 getting down voted?

Yes, OP DID bring shoes. It sounds like it was in the car since OP said "so I walked down to the beach barefoot". If OP didn't bring any shoes at all, it would have been "so I went to the beach barefoot". The point is, OP should have realized that the sand was way too hot the moment they began to walk on the sand. it only takes two steps: step on the sand, go back to get your shoes. It's a real feat to burn yourself to the point of blisters.

Anyone get my reference to the song "Under the Boardwalk" by the Drifters?

unfortunately, the lyrics are incorrect - maybe that's why.

Clever use of lyrics! That first line was perfect for this FML. 50, how kind of you to pronounce the lyrics as wrong without correcting them.

OP: "Yay! No easily washed off gritty sand in my shoes! Man, I should start walking barefoot everywhere! It might cause irreparable harm, but at least it'll save on laundry."
