Dic: add insult to injury

  • First, the basement flooded, and then, to add insult to injury, a pipe burst in the kitchen.
  • My car barely started this morning, and to add insult to injury, I got a flat tire in the driveway.
  • The airline charged me extra for checking in a bike and then added insult to injury by charging me for a box to pack it in.
Fig. Cliché | to make a bad situation worse; to hurt the feelings of a person who has already been hurt.
