It Could Be Worse

We're not sure if amateurauthor23 is a morbid optimist or the happiest pessimist we know... —SparkNotes editors

We've all hear this before: "It could be worse." Even I'm guilty of saying it from time to time. But what's worse then having a bad hair day or getting that F on your history test? Well, I thought about it and I've come up with few answers. If you're having a bad day, just remember, you could be...

* pushed out of an airplane into a pool of wasps by a creepy clown wearing a sombrero.
* one of the Gosselin kids.
* Tiger Woods's publicist.
* a whiny moody teenage who lives in a rainy town and loves an overly controlling, obsessive vampire who likes how you smell.
* alive in a parallel universe where SparkNotes and Dan Bergstein do not exist. (GASP!)
* Paris Hilton's dog.
* frozen in place with an itchy nose.
* living in a glass house near people who always throw stones.
* a contestant on a sleazy dating show.
* attacked by hunger alligators wearing jetpacks and holding flame-throwers.
* Charlie Brown (good grief!).
* blind, living with a family of mimes.
* the reindeer that no one remembers because Rudolph's an attention hog.
* the recipient of a huge award only to have your acceptance speech ruined by Kanye West.
* kept hanging for a high five for five minutes.
* going to the dentist in the Middle Ages.
* a number 3 pencil who is never as good as number 2.
* kicked off American Idol.
* the custodian who cleans up after a huge parade, or after the kids on Jersey Shore. (Now that's a situation!)

See, now your problem doesn't seem that bad. Unless you're in a situation on that list. And in that case, at least it can't get any worse, right?

What's the worst thing you can think of?
