Had Me By The Balls
This phrase is for when someone is stuck in a situation so bad they might as well be tied to a meat grinder with their own guts.
My boss had me by the balls when he told me I had to work 12 hours straight on my day off.
My sister had me by the balls when she said she'd tell my mom I stole her tampons.
My dog had me by the balls when he ate my entire backpack and ran into the woods.
