It's the end of my second day out in Rome, and after a little siesta I awoke to heatrash all over my neck arms and chest (I had expected this) and a face swollen up like a balloon (I hadn't expected this!), despite chucking loads of suncream on this morning (SPF 20, not enough for pasty faced computer geeks) So the next couple days of my holiday are buggered unless the blazing sun decides not to come out (unlikely).

So to cheer me up, if any of you have stories of holiday misery (preferably self-inflicted :p), I'd love to hear them!
 
My self inflicted holiday misery was getting panic attacks every day... Even in a ****ing Butterfly sanctuary! It was with my ex and my first time to a butlins so I couldnt really do Much as I would get a panic attack for some reason pretty much whenever I left the room. And I left my iPod there:(
 
Lol, I feel better already. More of that please!

E: I had actually expected a lot of panic attacks, but I hadn't had any so was having a great time. Sorry to hear yours didn't work out
 
Yes. In terrible ways. Smashing my teeth out probably the most obvious.

To continue with the calamity - posting from a hospital!

If my skin wasn't pulled taut across my swollen face, it would be creased with a smile at that. That's brutal. And Nitefly, dare I ask how that happened?
 
One holiday in Cuba ruined by being a bit of a derp and getting badly sunburnt after falling asleep on a boat. Not ruined really but annoying I guess.
 
Yet again a skiing story I am starting to see a trend. As it was the first time i was going skiing I was getting some practice in on the dry ski slope five weeks before we left for France fell tore all of the ligaments in my left hand, at first I took no notice is was only when I got home and realized I could not could not use my space bar (from hand over the WASD keys I realized it might be serious ) and spent the next four weeks in a cast, had to use a wrist support all holiday.
 
this story isn't about me but a friend....

my mate's mum won a competition on GMTV sometime back in the early 90s. she even recorded it as proof... anyway, the prize was a family holiday to greece. on the 2nd or 3rd day, my mate was out drinking with some scallywags from the north. long story short, they nicked a car and he ended up in a greek prison cell for the best part of 2 weeks. :D

if that doesn't cheer you up, what will? :p
 
It wouldn't be fair to ask you to share your stories without giving you something to laugh at as well, so my gf decided to snap this beaut for you guys.
Behold!

Yep, I spent all day in a waterpark in the Algarve in July 1987 when I was 21. I enjoyed myself so much I forgot to apply suncream frequently & ended up being so badly sunburnt on my back, I had to sleep on my front for the best part of a week. :(

Lmao, extra points for it being avoidable!
 
Oh yeah, while we're here, any ideas on how I can pass the time in my apartment while my face deflates? And yes, I have put my gf to good use already (making dinner you perverts!).
