stir the tanks

Performing a routine action with no expected ill effects that inadvertently causes ill effects due to compounding or unforeseen factors. A reference to the Apollo 13 mission when ground controllers asked Jack Swigert to "stir the tanks" which caused an explosion.

My turn to deploy? Dammit, guess I'll 'stir the tanks'.
