Boomerang effect

Whenever a boomer does something that turns out to backfire completely.
My old boss felt the boomerang effect good the other day. He voted to remove immigrants from the country, but now there are none to wash his house.

The Boomerang Effect 

When a college student graduates and leaves college, only for him/her to end up living back at his/her parent's house. This is usually because after college they have to pay their tuition, loans, etc., and they're so freaking high that Bill Gates couldn't even pay it off, and the job they currently have is not enough to pay for it and an apartment.
I could have gotten an apartment but instead my parents and I suffered the boomerang effect because of my tuition and bank loans. Now I live at my parent's house.
Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
