May 8, 2021 at 16:37 comment added Andrew Leach I have no idea what Estimated Time of Arrival and Greek cheese have to do with the comments. If you're editing, then the edit history is available. Just edit the question so it's complete in itself (but don't invalidate any existing answers in the process).

May 7, 2021 at 19:12 comment added Owen Reynolds I think your "snowballed" is it. Nitpicks are that it can be for non-problems, and doesn't always mean you made it worse, but definitions have a definite bias for what you want: it's a problem with growing scope due to your actions. Quick check: "she ate a frog to cure her fly problem and it snowballed from there" sounds very natural.

May 7, 2021 at 1:11 comment added Jim Mack @cigien - That's a bit similar, but I'm looking for something that reflects the compounding. Not just one bad thing after another, but a bad thing that you try to fix, only to introduce another, probably worse thing, and again, and so on.

May 6, 2021 at 22:00 comment added cigien Does this answer your question? Are there any expressions that describe going from a bad to a worse situation?
