Danish term or phrase: møgsag
A few examples of usage:

"Et muligt salg af XXXX fylder ingenting for hverken mig eller selskabet - men det gør møgsagerne"

"Det gælder ikke mindst rækken af ‘møgsager,’ som formanden kalder den lange række af utilfredse kunder, der har brokket sig, krævet erstatning, kontraktophævelser og andre sanktioner mod XXXX."

Blunders? Errors?

Any good ideas for this term?
