About time the nosy questions returned.
Why does this one feel a lot like The Newlywed Game?
*cue cheesy 70's music*
Right, then.
The only thing worse than politics is the sensationalist media.
That's my answer.

The only thing worse than a cold, dreary day is a beautiful one that I can't go out and enjoy.
Or maybe I'm just bitter because I had so much to do today (what "had"? I still have a lot to do today, I'm just procrastinating!) and I didn't get to spend more than fifteen minutes outside... and it was SO nice out... but such is life.

If my yo-mama-joke-obsessed nephew were here, I don't know how he'd end, but he'd start with, "The only thing worse than HAVING TO LOOK AT YO' MAMA ..."
The only thing worse than "worse" is "worst"!

The only thing worse than a rainy muddy day is having to vaccinate young horses in it.

I keep thinking of a Monty Python sketch featuring Oscar Wilde which has a number of lines in this exact format that I'm dying to use, but, out of deference to community standards, cannot.
The only thing worse than an Elvis impersonator is a BAD Elvis impersonator.

I'm going to stray from the comedy here. Sorry if I kill the mood.
The only thing worse than burying a child is burying two.

Hmmm...but, as the form of this last answer suggests, when you try to take the question seriously you find that there is never only one thing worse than the worst thing.

You're okay, Dakota. I left the question open ended on purpose. So, whether the answer is good or bad is dependent entirely on the reader.
What I enjoy about these questions is seeing the different places everyone is coming from. I could think up a hundred answers, and still not think of the things you guys come up with.

The only thing worse than getting slapped by the woman you love is getting axed by the woman you love. (Take Axed any way you want.)

The only thing worse than home root canal is.....well nothing.

You've clearly never tried one. It seriously isn't that bad. And you can do it yourself.

Owww! Survivor! That hurts even to think about.

The only thing worse than a muddy, wet dog shaking on you is a muddy, wet dog jumping on you! (I have got to teach them when hugs are appropriate and when they're not.)

The only thing worse than discovering your child, naked, in front of an open window, is watching your naked child wave to a group of people looking through your open window.

I suppose it depends on your neurophysiology a bit. But if the taste of your own blood affects you like a savory and chemically harmless form of PCP....
I would have said the only thing worse than discovering your child naked in front of an open window would be discovering your parent/sibling/spouse/evil twin....
Okay, since only implies something singular, I suppose I wouldn't have said "only". But how about if the people in the car were also naked?
