bumblers
Inept, fumbling people
Bumblers are people who act clumsily or incompetently, making mistakes through awkwardness rather than malice.
The word suggests well-meaning but ineffective effort: The investigation was handled by bumblers who contaminated the crime scene.
A bumbler stumbles through tasks that others manage smoothly.
