trouble maker
Depends on the context also. "Trouble maker" should be used in a light sense. Can you provide more context?
Note from asker:
| It's a psychology book. Another sentence is: Det här är en bok om strullpellorna vi kan möta och drabbas av, och i värsta fall råka illa ut för |

Or a pain in the "lower torso" if you want to be more explicit.

fidget OR fiddler
Both can be used for someone who keeps getting things messed up, who makes you frustrated or annoyed, but commits no major "crimes". Perhaps used more often as verbs.
Example sentence:
"That guy spoils the party with his fidgeting around"
"I fiddled away the morning with unnecessary tasks"
Something went wrong...
