Describes a person's tendency towards self-sabotage. In essence, it describes a behavioural pattern where someone undermines their own progress or success just when things seem to be going exceptionally well for them they self-destruct and will often hurt those around them.
As soon as his business was going really well, a CEO needlessly chose to set up a competing business behind his business partners back discreetly asking all the clients to pay into it. He got caught red-handed and lost everything. This happened many times in his personal and professional life. As soon as the bucket gets full they kick it over.
Placing someone's mouth, opened, on the edge of a sidewalk curb and then kick the back of their head. The best they can hope for is their jaw to only be detached from their skull.

guy 1: don't fake it to kick it! I hang with losers, just not liars!
