Even the best laid plans can have a chance of failure. Maybe something was overlooked. Someone with obscene amounts of resources would start a new plan from stage one, but often that's not possible. The previous action had some success, and to implement a completely new path could require a lot of resources and time, which may not be available. An entirely new option would be like using a new fuel source for your house every time a light bulb goes out. A rational response would be to just fix what was already there, making sure that the problem that arose is less likely to happen again. Unfortunately, it still will, specifically because of the fix. When someone tries to solve a problem, the solutions counteract each other, making a negative outcome easier (or possible). Depending on the consequences, this could be Played for Laughs, Played for Drama, or both. Simplified, it could be like flipping a switch, then flipping it again, not realizing it had been done the first time. Consider Didn't Think This Through, when one person does it. Because this requires some knowledge of what went wrong previously, the fixes may have been thought through, just not for every possible interaction, or maybe even overlooking exceedingly obvious interactions. Compare Tragic Mistake, Hoist by His Own Petard, Didn't See That Coming, Right Hand Versus Left Hand, Gambit Pileup, Gift of the Magi Plot, Abilene Paradox, and Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup. Alternatively, "Nice job breaking it, hero/fixing it, villain!". Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat is a Villain Ball Sub-Trope. If pulling this on another party is part of a gambit, it can overlap with Kansas City Shuffle. Reverse the Polarity, a Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo, and Lotsa People Try to Dun It can all easily lead to this. Can also be a result of Poor Communication Kills. Since at least a temporary Downer Ending is the point of this trope, expect some spoilers. |

In Air Crash Investigation, many of the incidents are caused by a maintenance job that was done correctly save for one minor detail, or by a perfectly copacetic repair job that somehow introduced a problem or allowed an unknown pre-existing problem to start wreaking havoc. | |

During a war games exercise in an episode of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., Sergeant Carter gives the unwitting Pyle a false plan with the expectation that he'll get caught and reveal it to the opposing team through his own incompetence. Unfortunately, when Pyle does get caught, he decides to fool the opponents by giving them a fake target... which is the exact one Carter had been planning to attack in the first place. | |

James Bond: In Diamonds Are Forever, Bond and Tiffany both have the idea of swapping the control tape for Blofeld's Kill Sat with a fake. Result: the real tape gets swapped right back into the machine. In fact, she thought he was slipping her a fake tape as a signal that she should make the switch for him since he'd been captured. He was actually just trying to get her to get rid of the control tape he had already switched out, so the guards wouldn't find it on him if he was searched. Licence to Kill: Bond travels to Isthmus City to take down the drug lord Franz Sanchez after he maimed Felix Leiter and murdered his wife. However, his assassination attempt against Sanchez is foiled by Kwang, an undercover Hong Kong narcotics officer posing as a Chinese drug baron in an attempt to entrap Sanchez, who's pissed that Bond interfered in his plans. A struggle ensues during which Sanchez and his men attack Kwang's hideout, killing Kwang and his Hong Kong narcotics associates. |

In The Simpsons, Apu and his wife Manjula had trouble conceiving a baby. Then they started to use fertility drugs—unaware that Homer, Marge, and Bart were independently slipping some into Manjula's food. The combined dosage was so high they ended up with octuplets, and almost went broke due to the resulting expenses. | |

In Ultrasonic, during a battle with an akuma called the Chemist. Ladybug manages to separate her from her weapon, a possessed beaker, and she throws her yo-yo at it intending to break it. At the same time, Chat Noir chases after the beaker and would have been able to grab it in time if the yo-yo hadn't hit his hand and caused him to knock it away. As such, the Chemist gets the beaker back and the fight gets drawn out. | |

In the Cowboy Bebop episode "Cowboy Funk," Andy and Spike find themselves trapped in an elevator and speeding toward an armed explosive. Spike confidently reveals that he had planned for such an event and had reset the security code on the elevator's manual override. Andy confidently reveals that he had done the same thing... thus RE-resetting the code to its original setting and locking them both out. | |

The Powerpuff Girls episode "Monkey See, Doggy Two" is about Mojo Jojo trying to revise his plan from a previous episode. There he turned the Powerpuff Girls into dogs with a magic statue, but one of them chomped him in the ass, he dropped the statue, and it breaking turned him into a dog. To correct this, Mojo took two "precautions": First, he covered his butt with a steel plate, which would've been all that was needed. Second, he refused to turn the girls into dogs, which was a pretty bad decision, but turning them into dogs didn't work the first time. However, that problem would've been remedied by the butt plating. Telling the girls how he fixed his mistakes = pretty stupid. All three combined just led to a normal beatdown. | |

In Man of Medan, two potential ways to get off the ship are to have Conrad escape in the speedboat so that he is able to go to the Coast Guard for help, or to retrieve the distributor cap from the pirates. If you manage to do both of these, however... the rest of the heroes will escape the ship before Conrad gets there. With no knowledge of the dangerous hallucinogenic gas on board, Conrad will wander into the ship looking for his friends, and it's heavily implied that he doesn't make it back out. | |

If you befriended Papyrus in Undertale, then you'll receive a call from him in Waterfall asking what you're wearing. As it turns out, he's asking on behalf of Undyne, who is trying to hunt you down and kill you. Should you lie to him, or tell the truth but change up your equipment later, then Papyrus will tell her that you were wearing something else in an effort to cover for you... not realising that he'd described the exact thing you were actually wearing.note If you don't do either of these things then he'll opt to tell her the truth instead, assuming that you'd realised something was up and given him a false answer. Either way, Undyne ends up coming after you. | |

In the Doctor Who Missing Adventures novel Cold Fusion the Doctor does this to himself. There are some galaxy shattering grenades that can be disarmed by reversing the polarity of the neutron flow, which he does so he can fake out the villain by pretending that they've won when they send the duds to the target. Then his past self finds the grenades and re-reverses the polarity thinking he's the one disarming them. Which means the bombs are live when sent to their target. | |

Gilligan's Island: On one an episode, a homing pigeon landed on the island, and the gang realized they could send a note home with it. The Professor said the pigeon was too thin to make the trip home, however, and needed to fatten up with a proper diet and exercise. But the rest of the gang, impatient to leave, overfed the bird, and the next morning the bird was too fat to make the trip. On another episode, the Skipper had both insomnia and was sleepwalking when he did sleep. The Professor got the idea of borrowing Mr. Howell's tranquilizers, and putting them in the Skipper's coffee; but then, not knowing he had done so, Ginger put another one in his coffee; and not knowing either of them had done so, Mrs. Howell added a third, and so on, until the Skipper noticed the pills and added one himself, drinking six of them. (Gilligan, amazingly, was completely innocent here.) It helped him sleep, but suffice to say it took a long time for him to wake up. |

Not an infrequent problem on Worst Cooks in America. For example, one instance in season 2 (after two of the contestants had their teams swapped) involved a newcomer to Anne Burrell's team making mashed potatoes. He had remembered that the proper way to prepare the potatoes involves salting the water in which they were boiled. However, two of his new teammates were afraid that he didn't know that unsalted water for boiling potatoes is one of Chef Burrell's big no-nos, so they both made sure to add "enough" salt. Sure enough, when the chef checked on the water, she found it way too salty to use. Luckily, she checked this and warned him before he put the potatoes in the water. | |

The Pinky and the Brain episode "That Smarts" sees Pinky becoming even smarter than Brain, but neither being happy with it. Brain concludes that one of them has to be stupid, and so uses the machine that made Pinky smart on himself in reverse. At almost the same time, Pinky independently decides he doesn't like being smart and does the same to himself. Both ended up too stupid to operate the machine and make themselves smart again, and it's never explained how any of this is reversed. | |

In one of the Star Trek novels written by William Shatner, two independent groups are trying to rescue hostages from a base in low orbit around a planet. Saving them requires destroying either the main power generator or the backup power generator — but not both, as that would cause the base to lose orbit and everyone to die. One of the groups chooses to disable the main generator for their rescue attempt, while the other group chooses to disable to backup generator. Both put their plans into motion at exactly the same time. Tragedy results. | |

One episode of 30 Rock has Tracy and Jenna try to solve people's problems, declaring themselves "The Problem Solvers," wearing shirts that say "The Problem" and "Solvers." Unfortunately for them, they're standing side by side in such a way that their shirts read "Solvers The Problem." Jenna asks whether they should switch shirts or positions, to which Tracy says "Just to be safe, let's do both," resulting in their shirts still reading "Solvers The Problem," but now Jenna's shirt is too big, and Tracy's, too small. | |

Probably the most excruciating example is Gussie Fink-Nottle's famous school awards speech, brought about because both Bertie and Jeeves had spiked his orange juice with alcohol in the hopes of curing him of his nervousness.

Portal 2: During the final levels most locations need repulsion gel, propulsion gel or conversion gel, which is usually pouring out of a broken pipe. So during the boss fight, all pipes are sealed, leaving you without gel or even portals. As you can no longer use portals, Wheatley happily throws bombs at you, knowing you can't send them back like you did in the first game. Thing is, the bombs are more than capable of breaking those pipes, spreading conversion gel which lets you place the portals needed to throw back the bombs. This is understandable, given who Wheatley is. The bombs were also wholly redundant based on the immediate flow of neurotoxin. More patience would have meant a win anyway. | |

In Slay the Spire, several Boss Relics grant you an extra energy each turn, but prevent you from doing something else (such as Resting, gaining Potions, or gaining Gold). Usually this payoff is acceptable, but can really come back to bite the player if they fight an Elite or accept a Curse in exchange for a random relic, as the random relic may be the Regal Pillow note Which heals you each time you Rest, the Potion Belt note Which increases the number of potions you can carry, or the Old Coin note Which grants you a large amount of Gold. | |

In one Mad About You, Paul & Jamie left their apartment in the middle of the night still in their pajamas. Paul "pushed the little button" which deactivates the latch lock on the door so that they could get back in and not have to take their keys. Jamie doesn't know that Paul did that so she pushes the little button too, so now they're locked out but don't discover that until they come back from whatever adventure they had. | |

In the The Three Stooges short "Beer Barrel Polecats", the Stooges are all working together to brew their own beer. One step required one of them to put the yeast into the wort. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to one another, each of them put in the yeast, and the result was, quite naturally, a massive bubbling up in the wort that caused an explosion. | |

In the episode of Frasier where Frasier and Niles briefly take over a restaurant, they each keep adding more brandy to the Cherries Jubilee, each unaware that the other is doing the same. The result is so boozy that when it's flambéed it goes up in a huge conflagration and sets off the sprinkler system. | |
