When things are bad, but not as bad as possible. used in this way, things are bound to get much worse.

"My house burned to the ground, my wife divorced me taking everything I could salvage from the fire, and I was hit by a truck on my way to the courthouse." said Bob.
"It could be worse" responded Joe.😅
