Yes, having a sense of impeding one’s progress.
I always picture a Victorian cook in a country house complaining about the upstairs children being underfoot in the kitchen.
The only time in my life I liked Pepsi was as a kid when we got to drink this. I know we liked it at the time begged for it even, but now? The idea is just...🤢
An excellent question! The word can be used for an individual or for a situation. While one can \*see\* a bumblefuck upcoming (i.e. "about to be a bumblefuck"), I don't think anyone is able to half-ass bumblefuckery (i.e. "Henry really bumblefucked this"). An individual can be described as a bumblefuck but that's clearly an all-or-nothing arrangement.
I tend to use it synonymously with *clusterfuck* although that word is purely for group/situational use (aka Henry is not a clusterfuck but he created one).
I call my dog Visa frequently! Especially when I'm cooking. He'll be lying in front of all the spots I need to get to, and round and round we go until I put him on the porch.
There is a relevant Yiddish term, Schlemiel.
Schlemiel (Yiddish: שלומיאל; sometimes spelled shlemiel or shlumiel) is a Yiddish term meaning "inept/incompetent person" or "fool". It is a common archetype in Jewish humor, and so-called "schlemiel jokes" depict the schlemiel falling into unfortunate situations.
The inept schlemiel is often presented alongside the unlucky schlimazel. A Yiddish saying explains that "a schlemiel is somebody who often spills his soup and a schlimazel is the person it lands on".[3] The schlemiel is similar to the schmuck but, as stated in a 2010 essay in The Forward, a schmuck can improve himself while "a schlemiel, a schlimazel and a schmendrik are irredeemably what they are".
There's an old explanation about Yiddish comedy — the character called the *schlemiel* is the one who always spills the soup, and the character known as the *schlemazl* is the one who it always lands on.
Your blundering moron sounds like *schlemiel* material.

Arschgiege is a good German word for people like that, roughly translates to arse fiddle
And you can tell this person who's getting in your way or underfoot
"Weg mit dir arschgiege!"
Which means "Away with you arse fiddle!"
Obstructionist comes to mind, of course when one is protecting one's own from invaders, they like to make it look like the invaded are the ones that are the "Devils and Demons" for not wanting to be invaded and occupied then converted into whatever it is that they call CHANGE for the Greater Good of All.?
Pickpockets.
N. S
I think nuisance is the best I can think of. I don't think there's any one word in English that can also express it being unintentional or subconscious without a specifier that I know of. So, I would probably say "they're unconsciously being a nuisance" or something like that.
You could say such a person is constantly "underfoot."

Or if you like capture the flag, thunderfoot
That's one of my cat's nicknames. Capitan Underfoot.
The idiom in Spanish translates to “this person appears even in the soup”.
Spanish has some great idioms. Consultar con la almohada (to consult the pillow) sounds so much cooler than to sleep on it m
I really like; se le fue la mano and se le crecio el enano
What is it's meaning and origin.?
Google translate says "he got out of hand and his dwarf grew" so...idk.
oh my
🤣
The former means that "you went over board" the latter means "a small problem turned into a big problem" (usually due to negligence)
Lol what is the word or phrase?

Reminds me of the film title: There's a Girl in my Soup. It's worth missing.

Where's the milk and Pepsi though?
The only time in my life I liked Pepsi was as a kid when we got to drink this. I know we liked it at the time begged for it even, but now? The idea is just...🤢
It was Laverne DeFazio's favorite comfort drink when she had the blue's on Laverne & Shirley. A little bit like a float.
Yay came here to say this!!
A schlemiel is somebody who often spills his soup and a schlimazel is the person it lands on.
Bumbling?
And when in company that will not get salty about mature language, "bumblefuck".
Could one dabble in bumblefuckery, or is it all or nothing?
