A servo fail is any moment of spectacular underperformance or bad judgement that could have been avoided with basic planning — named after the particular brand of disappointment when you pull into a servo and they're out of what you need, the coffee machine is broken, and the attendant looks like they've already emotionally clocked off. By extension, a servo fail is any situation where something that should be low-effort and reliable completely drops the ball. An embarrassing fumble on what should have been an easy lay-up.
Showed up to his own birthday without a cake — absolute servo fail.
