Get the You Fail it mug.
Exclamation of which many forms exist (i.e. you fail, you fail it, you suck at life), used after the subject has failed at performing an easy, simple or mundane task.

If said straightfaced and/or casually, the effect can be greater than that of other, milder insults. However, its use and effectiveness depend heavily upon timing.

Conversely, "I fail at life" can be used to acknowlege one's own failiure.

Person B: "Wow. You fail at life."
