    Farting, then realising your jocks are wet is worse.

    I could think of worse things, finding out your girlfriend is pregnant for instance.

    Anyone who works in IT will know that sinking feeling when you press the wrong button and see hundreds of peoples' stuff delete/crash/shut down before your eyes and you can't stop it.

    Nothing like it.

    Pressing format and realising you forgot to backup your Morrowind file.

    The only thing worse then is when you get to work, and there's nothing left in the canteen. :eek:

    Unless it's good AIDS, in which case, you'll be grand.

    The doctor telling you that you have terminal cancer would be slightly worse, I'd imagine.
    I dunno, at least that's an excuse for being late and you won't have to worry about beng late for much longer*

    I'm aware this is a fwp, by the way, but everything is relative












    *if you actually have terminal cancer, I'm very sorry for you.

    There's plenty of things worse than being late for work, however, no matter what time I leave each morning for my 10k drive, be it 8.20am or 8.40am I always arrive at precisely 9.07am.

    How the fcuk it that? :eek:

    I work in IT, I know that feeling well. Couple of weeks ago, I has the admin consoles for a production and test webserver open. I shut down the wrong one. Explain to your boss why the site is down after that is 'fun' :D

    When you have a wife,a mistress, a mortgage and they are all a month late.

    Forgetting to wear clean underwear and then being hit by a bus is pretty bad.
