The minor annoyances of daily life. Uncomfortable situations you silently power through. No matter who you are, your world is filled with people, things, and circumstances that can be summed up with one simple word: BAD.
In the spirit of March Madness, eight captains have painfully sifted through steaming piles of life's unpleasantries and submitted their regions. The result: a single-elimination bracket of 68 entries making up the Tournament of Bad!

The Championship
Salom to our first-time voter in Uzbekistan, hal-ao to our first-time voter in Iraq, مرحبا to our first-time voter in Lebanon, salam to our first-time voter in Morocco, and namaste to our first-time voter in Nepal! That now makes 81 different countries from which someone has voted on the Tournament of Bad throughout its 18 years. The results are in from two hard-fought Final Four matchups, and we've finally arrived at The Championship. The two remaining entries now face off in the tournament's final matchup, with your votes determining this year's champion!

Remember - vote however you like. Some people always vote for the entry they find the funniest. Some always vote for the entry that most annoys them personally.
