... After Joe and Bob are busted for possession of marijuana and cited by the police (but not arrested because the amount was too little), the following conversation occurs:

Joe: "We can go back to my house or we can smoke the rest of my stash of pot." :)

Bob: "Honestly Joe, if we go back to your house, we'll get in trouble because the cops already called your parents, and your 'pot stash' is too small to get high off of. Goddammit, you're such a LOSE-LOSE! Everything with you is a lose-lose situation!" >:(

Joe: "Yeah, you're right; I suck." :(

lose-lose situation

You lose both ways in a situation.

"I thought that lying to Mark would keep his feelings from being hurt, but really his feelings got hurt AND he doesn't trust me any more. That's a lose-lose situation."

Lose-Lose Win-Win

1. Think of something you know you need to do, but that you don't want to do.
2. Stop waiting and go do it.
3. Don't listen to me.
4. Don't let me tell you what to do.
5. Do what you want.

And that's an example of a lose-lose win-win.

You lose, you lose.
