Things Worse Than Cough Syrup

Let's face it, cold medicine and other medications taste bad. Many entertaining, disgusted faces have been made while drinking a vile liquid that almost makes stuffed noses and fever seem good. At times like these, it's important to remember something important: it could be worse. So let's explore some of the things that are worse than taking a putrid medicine.

1. Being kicked in the head by an irritable donkey.
2. Letting stink beetles crawl all over you.
3. Having a tooth extracted without receiving anesthesia, numbing agents, or strong painkillers first.
4. In a magician's act gone horribly wrong, you're sawed in half.
5. Having poison oak all over your body.
6. Sitting through a really absurd, pointless, and/or sickening movie. (even worse if you paid money to watch that rubbish)
7. Being trapped in a pit filled with highly venomous snakes, insects, arachnids, etc.
8. A tarantula flicking belly hairs into your eyes.

19. Using a public restroom with no toilet paper, paper towels, or soap, and it hasn't been cleaned since the beginning of time.
20. Discover you set up a campsite next to an enormous colony of fire ants.

26. Anything involving head lice.
27. Wake up and see an enormous centipede on the ceiling directly above your bed.

30. Cook a pizza, then while taking it out of the oven, you accidentally drop it on the oven door, topping side down.
31. After working hard on a long, arduous school assignment, you lose it in a freak accident, such as the essay flying out of the vehicle window, your baby sister dumps strained peas on it, or it's mistakenly run through a paper shredder along with the old bills and junk mail.
32. Forget to put your lunchbox on the refrigerator during the weekend. Then your Thermos leaks, staining your school planner and causing the inside of your backpack to smell like spoiled salsa.
