A mistake that you made due to someone else's original mistake. Think of a 3 car crash as an example. If you get rear-ended and then hit the person in front of you, is it really your fault?
This can apply to a multitude of situations including families, relationships, work related incidents, etc.

Get the Secondhand Mistakemug. 
How do you keep a decent idea or someone's best efforts from slipping away? If the wrong hands can record it (or have it recorded), they can copy it and turn it (into bullshit) against somebody in no time, then the wrong hands prevail again. They can do that with just about anything in life, and they can spin it a lot of different ways.
The football team wasn't pushovers last week, the wrong hands had to get something to steal/copy to turn them into the pushovers they said they were this week, but the football team had already forgotten that and was now focused on mistakes and what they did wrong again, trying to hold everyone but the wrong hands accountable, when really making mistakes is human. Perfection is for machines, and because they are made by humans, they make errors too every now and then.
