Be in Hot Water

 If someone is in hot water, people are angry with them, and they are in trouble for something they did or said.

For example:
Mike: Oh, no! I forgot my wife's birthday.

Jeff: You'll be in really hot water if you don't buy her a present right away.

Have you ever been in hot water?
