When you are sharing your vehicle with someone and it get damaged in someway (door ding, curb check, scratch, totaled) and you blame it on the person you share with, only to find out later that it was your own fault.
Dick: Great, now my wheel is all chewed up because you curb checked. And I know it was you because it wasn't like that last week, and I certainly didn't do that.
Jane: I haven't used the car in the last two weeks, Dick. I've been in the hospital, Dick.
Dick: Yeah, likely story
*LATER*
Dick: Huh, well, I guess I did that when I drove home drunk and ran over that stop sign.
Jane: Yeah, Dick, we call that vehicular Munchausen's by proxy. No one hurt your fucking BMW but you, Dick.

Get the Pinkeye by proxy mug.PROXY is a licensed software product made by PROXY Networks. Besides being utterly stupid to name any software "proxy" (more widely known as being something completely different in IT networking), the product still looks like it's from Windows 95 and handles more or less to that capacity.
It's complete crap

Idiot help desk tech: My IT shop uses PROXY (software) for remote connections to manage our infrastructure.
Network tech: Wait, why are you using a network proxy for something you need to access remotely?
Every other IT professional: PROXY sucks, use something... literally ANYTHING else.

Get the PROXY (software) mug."Ambition by proxy" refers to a situation where someone delegates ambitious tasks, projects, or goals to another person without actively participating or contributing to the effort themselves. This term implies that the person is seeking to achieve success or recognition vicariously through the efforts of others, rather than taking on the challenges directly.
When my boss constantly assigns me high-profile projects but never offers any support or guidance, it feels like he's practicing ambition by proxy, wanting the glory without putting in the work.
You know when your wife comes up with ideas for projects for you to do but doesn't plan on helping at all? That's ambition by proxy.
