Transitive Fail

In many ways like a chain fail, but which tends to propagate down a line like a domino effect. That is, if when A fails then B fails, and when B fails then C fails, then if A fails, C fails.
Because Adam didn't fill the car up with gas, his girlfriend, Becka couldn't get to work on time. Because Becka couldn't get to work, she could not add the sales figures to Craig's presentation. Because Craig did not have the sales figures, the client fired Craig. Craig, in turn, reported Becka's habitual tardiness to management, which got her fired. Because she was fired due to Adam's lack of forethought, she subsequently dumped him.

Since when Adam failed, Becka failed; and when Becka failed, Craig failed, Adam created a transitive fail.

regift fail

When a cheap person regifts something and the reciever unwraps it to discover it is blatantly secondhand.
My friend regifted my DD an Easter egg sticky-taped to a dirty coffee mug, which had coffee residue and spoon marks in the base of the mug. Regift fail.

butt fail

When your phone or device does random things that you didn't expect to the extend that could get akward. A true butt-dial but beyond the telephone.
As I had my phone in the shower a sundden drop of water launched Instagram and initiated a video call by mistake as I quickly attempted to hang up with soaked fingers... What a Butt fail!
