Three finger booger - A situation that gets completely botched up (typically unexpectedly) and is extremely difficult to get rid of or to get away from, similar to a deal with a lot of hair on it. It can also describe something you end up with that you didn’t ask for and don’t want, but can’t get rid of.
 

Use: Mike got a new client referral, but it turned out that the client had all kinds of problems nobody expected to have to deal with, and was a general pain in the ass. His friend that referred the client said, “Man, I’m sorry, I didn't mean to send you a three finger booger.”
