If you've ever been sunburned, you know there are a number of feelings that go along with being lobster red.
At first, you're in shock and may even shed a few tears. Then you suffer through the burning, itching and discomfort that lasts for days. And let's not forget about the awful and disgusting skin peeling that happens when the burn finally fades.
If you're lucky, your burn turns to tan and becomes golden.
What better person to express all of the mixed emotions associated with being sunburned than SpongeBob SquarePants? After all, he's had a few painful burns himself (cringe).
Even if you've only been sunburned once in your entire life, you can totally relate these feels (and of course, to SpongeBob).
1. What have I done?
Giphy
Oh, no. Not again. I am red all over. It's a sunburn.
2. It wasn’t enough sunscreen. It's never enough.
Giphy
I never put on enough sunscreen. NEVER.
3. My skin. Look at my skin!
Giphy
My poor skin. It's so red. Do you see it?
4. I am now Larry the Lobster.
Giphy
I am now Larry the Lobster. You can call me Larry (or lobster girl).
5. Don’t look at me. Oh, the shame.
Giphy
Stop staring. I know it's bad. I know.
6. IT BURNS. MY EVERYTHING BURNS.
Giphy
Every inch of me burns. It hurts. It burns.
7. Give me ice, water and aloe. I need relief.
Giphy
Make it stop. I need something cold.
8. Maybe if I stay very still, it won’t burn.
Giphy
If I lie perfectly still, I won't notice how badly it burns.
9. I am lying on a bed of fire. Help me.
Giphy
There's no use. I am on fire. This girl is on fire.
10. I just want to rip my skin off.
Giphy
Can I just shed this skin and start over?
11. Why did I have to go outside? I should have stayed inside.
Giphy
This would never have happened if I had just stayed inside on the couch and watched TV all day. BIG MISTAKE.
12. I blame the sun.
Giphy
How dare you do this to me? Why? Why me?
13. I wonder if this burn will turn into a tan…
Giphy
I better be tan after this. Look at me. I will be tan soon. Happy dance.
