After spending a day in the sun with no sunscreen on, a person I know got sunburned. I thought this person looked fairly red, actually, especially on the face. Anyway...this person did not treat the burn in any way - said it didn't hurt. This person then chose to spend the next day (from about 1pm to 4pm or later) outside in the blazing hot sun with NO sunscreen on.
Why, why, why would anyone do this? Am I the only one who thinks this is incredibly stupid? When I expressed a little concern, my concern was scoffed at. It seems like this is just asking for major skin damage.
I just don't understand. Maybe I'm over-protective when it comes to these things, but this just seems crazy to me.

I do not scoff at sun damage. with every sunburn, you're just asking for cancer later in life. Not worth it.
No, you're not alone. That is strange.
How old is said person? The only people I know who do things like that are young in years (and maturity).
I have a friend who does this. She's 30. I think she conceives of a sunburn as something that has a limit-- if you're sunburned, nothing worse can happen. It's already done.
I finally talked her into using a daily moisturizer with SPF, so I'm making some progress.
This individual is almost 40. It is just crazy!
yeah, that's just crazy and weird. do you want me to send pictures of my face to show her what sun damage does? i look like a leopard.
