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.

Get the potty failmug. When Royal Mail just can't get it right and struggle to deliver your parcels on time. Sometimes they will deliver your items early such as the very next day after you post it whilst at other times they can take twice as long as the estimated delivery time and you get worried about where the parcel is.

Person 1: When will my parcel arrive.
Person 2: Whenever Royal Mail delivers it.
Person 1: I've waited a week.
Person 2: I know Royal Fail can be like that sometimes.
