mess around

But I knew you wouldn't, so I just had to mess around by myself.

One hook, the biggest, had caught in a rock lining the gully, and the ropes were in a mess around the wheels and the rear axle.

I always loved to mess around a campfire, and Uncle Peter proved a most delightful companion.

I intend to mess around myself, and change my mind every other day about all sorts of things.

And the last thing we need to do is mess around with Social Security.
