| Sep 9, 2015 at 16:49 | comment | added | user128024 | @Chenmunka What exactly is too broad for you? Possibilities? Which possibilities? Someone is in a bad situation and unable to fix it. The example was given in the question. Isn't it clear enough? | |
| Sep 9, 2015 at 16:31 | comment | added | Graffito | "To be in a mess", "To be screwed" or "when you find yourself in deep shit, there's nothing to chirp about". | |
| Sep 9, 2015 at 16:24 | comment | added | SAH | Maybe "Catch-22," "Double bind," "Between a rock and a hard place" (or, more archaically, "Between Scylla and Charybdis") | |
