30 of the Craziest ‘And Then It Gets Worse’ Stories

Have you ever heard a story with so many catastrophic twists and turns that it was almost on par with a biography about the Kennedys? 

Okay, few things are as bad as a biography about the Kennedys, but you know what I mean — the story reaches what you think is rock bottom, but it breaks through and finds a whole other layer of ground down there. 

One Redditor shared their “and then it gets worse” story that will actually make your jaw drop. Their mother lit a bonfire, left it unattended and the grass caught on fire. Then, the garden shed caught on fire, which set the hedge on fire, along with a few gas canisters. Those gas canisters ended up igniting a rat’s nest, spewing burning rats all over the yard, which the firefighters chopped in half with axes. The Redditor mentions that the “smell of burning rat” was the worst part, and that their brother developed a rat phobia after the experience.

I bet.

Other Redditors have shared their craziest stories about the times things went from bad to worse, and some of them actually are a bit Kennedy-esque.
