You do it to yourself
The right context can really clarify things. Take the phrase, "He blew his shit up", as an example.
First off, it implies the person took a shit in the middle of the floor, or where ever really. The location doesn't matter. It could be a corner, a couch, or a table, just somewhere that isn't accepted by society as the norm.
Secondly, it implies the person is playing with his own shit and somehow decided it was a good idea to stick explosive in said feces. Not only did the person crap some place out of the norm, they turned around ans said, "Hey, look! A pile of shit; I should put my hands in it. Ooooo, you know what would be better? Putting explosive in it." This just shows lack of judgement all the way around.
Finally, the explosive went off. Instead of a nice contained pile, the shit is all over the place in god knows where, so it's just a bad scene all the way around. We could even assume the fuse on the explosives was short, and it blew up in the face of the instigator. Not only is there shit everywhere, there is shit all over him. Alternately, the fuse wasn't short, and he just sat there waiting for it to go off.
A user got his computer infected with some malware yesterday, and I started thinking about how appropriate the phrase was. He had to have clicked on something to allow it to install. I know the stuff can be tricky, but he still caused it.
