Is there a name for this specific concept? Where somebody invents something (to do them good) but then that thing turns around and backfires on them?

    Let’s call it “Keuriged”. The Keurig guy had so much regret on his polluting invention. Not sure if there is an actual term for this though.

      I think Segwayed is better because James Heseldon, inventor of the Segway, died after riding a Segway off a cliff.

      Edit: apologies! Apparently he didn’t invent the Segway, just owned the company

          Not to be confused with segued, which is ‘to move easily and without interruption from one piece of music, part of a story, subject, or situation to another’.
