idiom for "things aren't working"
I need an idiom for "things are not working" as in, things are not the way I wanted them to be.
Thank you!

Re: idiom for "things aren't working"
Well, "Things aren't working ((out) for me) is fairly idiomatic.
"Things aren't working out as I had expected."
"Things have gone pear-shaped."

Things are going sideways.
Things are going south.
Nothing is going my way.
