One horror story is about a girl who used a tanning bed too often without proper protection. She ended up with severely burned skin, full of blisters. It was extremely painful and took weeks to heal, leaving behind ugly scars.
One of the funniest was a guy who thought he could do a spray tan while wearing his underwear. But he didn't realize that the tan spray seeped through the fabric. So when he took off his underwear, he had these really white areas where the underwear was and the rest of his body was super tan. It was quite a sight.
Well, it's a strange combination. Maybe in some very creative or unusual story, a tanning bed could play a role related to a Cinderella-like transformation or experience. But typically, they have no direct connection.
A common one is the orange look. People sometimes end up looking like they've been dipped in orange paint instead of getting a natural - looking tan. This often happens when the wrong shade of spray tan is used.
I heard about a guy who got a spray tan and didn't realize he was allergic to one of the ingredients. His skin broke out in a horrible rash. His whole body was itchy and red. He had to go to the doctor and get special creams to soothe the irritation. It took weeks for his skin to get back to normal.
Malfunction is a common element. Like the tanning bed not turning off at the right time, which can lead to over - exposure and burns. Another one is health scares such as the development of skin problems like moles or even skin cancer. Also, getting trapped inside the tanning bed can be a really scary situation that often comes up in these stories.
One scary tanning bed story is that a friend of mine got locked inside a tanning bed. The timer malfunctioned and she was stuck in there for over an hour. She started panicking and yelling for help. By the time the staff finally realized what was going on, she had a horrible claustrophobic experience and her skin was really red and irritated from over - exposure.
One time, my friend was in the tanning bed and she fell asleep. She was supposed to tan for just 15 minutes but ended up in there for 30 minutes. When she came out, she was so red that she looked like a lobster. It was hilarious but also a bit scary as she had a bad sunburn for a few days.
Yan Tan's verse to Shao Pu referred to a poem in Li Weng's verse to rhyme. Yan Tan referred to Ziling Beach, the place where the hermit Yan Ziling went fishing during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Shao Pu referred to Shao Ping's melon garden. Shao Ping was the Marquis of Dongling during Qin Shihuang's reign. The melons he planted in Chang 'an were called Dongling Melons. These two words were used to describe different things in Li Weng Dui Yun. The specific meaning needed to be determined by referring to the context of the entire poem.
