Well, ebola is worse. Prision rape is worse.

I think those are the only two though.

Funny I read The Hot Zone as a teen and it actually really scared me. I actually went around scared of getting ebola. I knew it was stupid but it somehow still got to me.

you know whats worse? when it is hot as balls and you want a soda, you put your money in and the can drops, sounds odd, feels light, and ends up having a damn t-shirt in it.

happened to me once, I needed a cold drink, spent my last bit of change and got a damn promo can.

haha can't be too many po-dunk towns with brothels now-a-days. Not outside period novels anyway.

Those are supposed to have a dollar in them so you can buy another drink...

Do you actually expect to get something back? I agree it would be nice to get your money back or a free coke but I can't see this actually happening.
