wire hell 

Any of the various times you might try to do something, but something has to become tangled into a perfect knot or unplugged and coiled around something else as you do so.

Steve: "Hey man what too you so long? I already brought all the bags in from the car."
Bryan: "Sorry, I got stuck in wire hell, couldn't get off the couch without my earbuds getting wrapped around my leg and my laptop charger getting stuck in the couch when I tried getting up."

hell on a wire 

A TOW missile, like the ones being sent to Ukraine. It is a wire-guided(hence “on a wire”) missile that cannot be jammed.

Did you hear that Ukraine just got some TOW missiles to help against the Russian invasion?
Goddamn, the Russians will be served hell on a wire tonight
