* Creator/JohnPinette, a BigEater, once went to the doctor for a checkup and found out he had a gluten allergy. After being told what kinds of food he'd have to stop eating, he started desperately begging the doctor to "Check again! Maybe it's just cancer!"

Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease. It should also be noted that DoNotTryThisAtHome applies in full in this case. While reality can often suck ''a lot'', using this trope as an excuse for suicide (or simply choosing death when given a choice) is nearly always a wrong answer. And that is not even mentioning using MercyKill as an excuse for choosing death for ''someone else'' against their will. Additionally, a lot of people who suffer life-changing accidents like [[EyeScream losing their sight]], their [[TheSpeechless voice]], becoming paraplegic, [[AnArmAndALeg losing a limb]], etc... can move on and cope with their disability and discover a new outlook on life rather than be doomed to despair.

Compare CruelMercy, EmptyShell, ToThePain, ThePunishment, {{Room 101}}, TailorMadePrison, and CoolAndUnusualPunishment. For extreme examples of this trope, see AndIMustScream. Not to be confused with AFeteWorseThanDeath, though the two can occasionally overlap.

Think death is the cruelest fate? Think again. There are several things much worse: [[ColdBloodedTorture torture]], [[TheThreeCertaintiesInLife taxes]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and tofu]], to name but a few. And more often than not, some unfortunate soul will experience it. Originally, this phrase was used to mean the {{rape|IsASpecialKindOfEvil}} of virgins in Gibbon's 1781 work ''Decline and Fall of the [[AncientRome Roman Empire]]'', but now there's [[MindRape even]] [[AndIMustScream worse]] [[TransformationHorror than]] that.
