E.g.(1)- I just had to run into the mall to make a payment and there were booby-traps everywhere. First, the were little kids running into me, then the was a handicapped person in a wheelchair zig-zagging every which way so I couldn't pass by. It turned a 5 minute task into a 30 minute journey.
E.g. (2) - In a party setting, this term usually describes a woman "cock-block." I was kickin' it to Chelsea trying to land a late night hookup, and Marla (ex-girlfriend) came over and booby-trapped me. Telling me she misses me and sabotaging my whole operation. She completely blew my chances.
