Narrative:
We landed; the seatbelt sign was [turned off]; and the inflight service manager (ism) made the announcement; 'flight attendants; please prepare your doors for arrival; crosscheck; standby for all call'. The three of us at door two (2) released our seatbelts and got up. I then proceeded to stop; drop; review; I proceeded to touch the disarming lever; but instead accidentally hardly lifted the door handle; causing the pneumatic assist to kick in; therefore fully opening the 2R door and causing the slide to fully deploy. As soon as the pneumatic assist took over I took a step back. Once the slide was fully deployed; [another] flight attendant placed the barrier strap across the door; while I blocked passengers away from the door. During the all-call; the ism [was] informed of the mishap.
