I meant to do that—It was to lure you into a false sense of security. A more extreme version of Murphy's Law is the Ryan Bloom. Everything that can go wrong, will, often for either no concernable reason or from simply not planning things out fully. Generally, the Ryan Bloom can be seen as a mix of The Chew Toy and Lapse of Intelligence.
It's not that the Ryan Bloom is Too Dumb to Live or an Idiot Hero. He can be pretty smart (and possibly Good With Numbers); that intelligence just doesn't always extend outside of schoolwork. Often, though, life presents the opportunity for the Ryan Bloom to redeem them—Hey Look!
This trope has been active since The Nineties. It was named for the troper whose life embodies this trope regularly.
Note that this is not actually a trope, but a Contributor Page in disguise.
