Light-trapping

A slow driver in front of you who manages to crawl through a yellow light right when it's about to turn red (and even worse, at a railroad crossing), leaving you and the enraged drivers behind you in a huge traffic jam.
I would've made it back home sooner if it wasn't for that slow bastard who kept light-trapping me at nearly every other block.

Unicorn Trap

A block of computer programming code that is intended to be rewritten later but ultimately never gets rewritten.
I wrote that code a year ago, with every intention of going back and rewriting it, but it turned out to be a unicorn trap.

spike trap

A spike trap is a trap that can do extensive damage when triggered. They are often found in video games and in some adventuring movies.

To be "spike trapped" is to be caught in a situation that is both painful and painfully avoidable. Players of Dungeons and Dragons frequently must "check for traps" to avoid falling into a variety of traps, including spike traps.

The character Kevin McCallister in Home Alone is someone with extensive knowledge of triggered traps, including spike traps.

In adventuring games, spike traps can make dungeon delving difficult. In multiplayer games, such as PUBG, spike traps can be set to inflict harm on your enemy while protecting a particular area.

Spike traps should not be confused with other traps that are more annoying than they are harmful. For instance, in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can use a Pitfall Seed to lay a trap that is similar in concept to a spike trap, though it is more of an inconvenience than a damage dealing trap.
"Dude, watch out for that spike trap!"

"I can't believe I didn't see that coming. It was such a spike trap. Ouch!"

nap trap

Any object or place that leads you to take a "surprise" nap.

Oftentimes, one wakes up completely bewildered or shocked that they fell asleep in a nap trap, even if they have fallen into the nap trap before.
Example 1:

3PM on Sunday
Me: Hmm. I guess I'll just sit here on the sofa and watch TV for half an hour.

4:20PM that same day
Me: *Opens eyes* Crap, did I just fall asleep?
Roomie: *Walks by* Dude, you know that couch is a nap trap.

Example 2:

No wonder I am failing calculus, that warm classroom is a total nap trap.
