Whenever something breaks, my name floats first. 😂

But this time, let me tell you... not me!

This expression speaks very well.

⭐ To bark up the wrong tree.

= misunderstanding / blaming the wrong person / solving the wrong point

💬 Sample

If you think I broke the printer, you're barking up the wrong tree. I haven't used it at all.

If I think I broke my printer, I'm wrong because I haven't used it yet.
