People shared their worst possible situation and Gary Lineker’s won hands down

Writer Joel Golby imagined a nightmare scenario and shared it with Twitter …along with a challenge.

what's the worst possible situation you could wake up and find yourself in? for me i come to in an anonymous american mansion as one half of a husband and wife tiktok prank couple

He added a couple of updates.

starting to doubt everything i do. we're sincerely trying for a baby but after month after month of fake-out pregnancy tests i don't know what is real anymore. i watch my reflection blink back at me. the water from the shower runs charcoal black. the devil lives inside of me

Pretty bleak, right? Very 2020-worthy.

People were inspired to respond with their own nightmares.

Wake up, 20 missed calls, 15 discord messages, horrendous hangover, PC still on, banned on twitch 😥 https://t.co/vIwbICL0oz

Your dog brings you the newspaper and you've been outed as a paedo on the front page. The mob is at your door

I wake up as the toilet in the en suite of the Oval Office

All truly awful, clearly, but Gary Lineker‘s nightmare was at once the best and the worst – because it was true.

Play for my country in a World Cup game with hundreds of millions watching and shit myself on the pitch. https://t.co/79rcs6Dneq

This is what he was talking about. Look away now if you’re of a delicate disposition.

Which goes to show that if you’ve done something for which people will inevitably take the piss – you might as well own it.

I told ‘em straight, “I’ve shit on a pitch once, and if you keep looking at me like that, I’ll do so again. 😬 pic.twitter.com/lY2ikViMb5
