When someone says, "You just opened Pandora's box," it means that you have done something that might seem like a small, inconsequential action but is actually one that has extremely bad and far-reaching consequences. The term Pandora's box comes from Greek mythology; the box was actually a jar that was given to Pandora that contained all of the evils of the world.
