When someone takes a situation and over thinks it to the point of disaster.

Taking a simple problem and turning it into a Rube Goldberg type situation where the solution creates more problems then it solves.

Thinking a situation, that would otherwise be a simple solution if thought through properly, into a catastrophic conclusion.
While I knew the only problem with the car was that it needed new spark-plugs, Jake felt it was a better idea to gut the entire electrical system in what can only be described as a thinktastrophe!

He ended up disabling the entire car, ruining the electrical system and engine computer in the process.

Now the car doesn't work at all cause Jake's logic of "You can never be too sure".
