Today, I spilt boiling tea all over my stomach and left leg, so I went to the hospital to get it checked out. They said I wouldn't be able to expose it to the sun for the next two months. I'm going to Barbados tomorrow. FML

Today, I spilt a very hot cup of tea all over a burn I got yesterday from spilling a very hot cup of tea. FML

Today, I spilled boiling water on my legs. A coworker told me that putting mustard on the burn would heal it. I ended up at the emergency room. When people walked by I could hear them say "it smells like hot dogs". FML

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

Today, my cat knocked over a cup of scalding hot tea - but don't worry, the carpet wasn't damaged. It went all over my leg instead leaving a nice big scar for my holiday. FML

Today, I was feeling sick but went into my waitressing job because I'd already missed 3 days this week. I was dizzy and managed to spill a tray of drinks all over the customers. Then, when their food was done, I tripped and spilled hot chili all over the man's lap. FML

Today, I went to get a nice, relaxing hot stone massage. Instead I got second degree burns on my legs. FML

Today, I stayed home from work because I'd had diarrhea for 24 hours and my gut felt horrible. I decided to at least enjoy some sun on my back porch in my swing chair. I stepped on an old board and my leg fell through to the knee, I couldn't move, and I was home alone. My neighbor cut the board that got me out. FML

Today, I went to the doctor's office to get my yearly check up. Soon after I got home, I threw up and somehow had a fever. FML

Today, the first day of my 4-day weekend, I fell off my scooter. I'll have to spend the rest of my vacation bandaged and away from water. I'm on a beach. 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

Just wear a one-piece (if you're a girl)! If you're a guy, just keep a t-shirt on. it's not that bad. You can still have fun :D

The doctors have a reason for things. They don't prescribe you or advise you just to make your life harder. I don't see why anyone would thumb your comment up.

#6- it can't be exposed to the sun because it's a burn, which generally take off a few layers of skin and hurt like hell OP- i once did that to my foot, only burnt about half my foot and it was agony, i have sooo much sympathy for you, i really cannot imagine the amount of pain you're in right now you poor thing

oh, and #36- you're a wanker. they used the right form of 'to' every time except one, which makes it seem as if it may have just been a typo and they accidently held the 'o' button down for too long ******* grammar nazis, who gives a shit, honestly. not everybody is brilliant at english, why make them feel bad for it? do you mock people who don't understand maths or science or find history a bit difficult? (oh and for all those about to say 'it's math, not mathS', i'm from australia and that's how we say it here) /endrant

Wrap a scarf/coverup around your waist.

Light jeans, perhaps? Heck, even some god bandages should do the trick! I don't see why it should ruin your trip, unless you were going down there just to tan, in which case, this actually saved your trip (I mean, honestly, it isn't like the burn can't keep you from swimming. Unless you can't stand pain, that it :P)
