Sometimes the language barrier can hurt you more than others. In this case, the guy thought that "gasoleo" would get the job done for him, when he went to fill up his Petrol car. Unfortunately, that actually translated to Diesel, and he found himself in quite the bind, and in need of a mechanic. Fortunately he was able to resolve the issue, and move forward. But you gotta love the fail!

The English language is frustratingly confusing, and seems to make zero sense at times. The following list of definitions, sayings, terms, etc. serve as a solid testament to the fact. For such a widespread language, it has an uncanny knack for confusing the shit out of people. If you're looking for more language struggles, it's worth checking out the following times people utterly failed at their spelling attempts.
We love a good old expectations vs realities list, and especially when the hopeful expectations take a big loss to the grim reality of the situation. We're all just out here trying to hit our stride, and not fail with every move we make. Unfortunately, the world and it's ever consistent string of fails has other plans.
A viral Facebook post from Kristin Hagan is making the rounds, and it's all about old ladies who just can't seem to figure out how Facebook bios work. The resulting bios are savagely honest, and full of surprises like "pasta" and a grandmother who wants the online world to know that she has a very unpleasant granddaughter.
We're big fans of expectations losing to reality. It just captures the spirit of a good old fashioned fail. Sometimes good intentions aren't enough to get the job done. You might set out to bake that perfect birthday cake, and end up with a sloppy monstrous looking creation that looks nothing like the picture on the box. Or maybe you got faked out by a deceptive promo from a fast food place that serves up hideous burgers that look absolutely nothing like what originally ignited your appetite.
Sometimes you're in the middle of just trying to make it through a day without shit going sideways, and then the world throws you a curveball, and you're saying "oh shit here we go again." Maybe your sleep cycle gets rocked. Maybe you forgot the one thing you actually needed at home, halfway through walking to work. You'll probably connect with more than one of these.
We've all happened upon that one seemingly innocent word that we think we know how to say out loud, until we actually go to say it. Twitter user @alau2, started up a viral thread that has Twitter users sharing the words they can't pronounce for the life of them.
You might connect with some of these adults and their struggles. You know, those things that society expects us to have a handle on, when in reality we're nowhere close to being able to do it. Like small talk, or getting out of bed on time. Yeah, those are too real.
Well these disastrous days are horribly awesome. If you thought the struggle was too painfully real, these will serve as a glaring reminder that someone else out there is always going through it just like you in some capacity. Life's a struggle and we're just here to document as much of it as we can.
Game of Thrones is doing the best it can to not fail like the rest of us. That being said, an epic and unforgettable fail will pop up on the show every now and again. We're still laughing about Starbucks making an unexpected guest appearance for Season 8. And along that vein, we've decided to look back and remember 10 special fails from Game of Thrones as we gear up for the finale next Sunday.
This oblivious café customer encounter is any of us just trying to make it through another day without being an absolute failure. The struggle is real, and it plagues us often. That being said, we can't verify whether or not this story was pulled out of thin air altogether. Hard to say. Still entertaining to imagine it going down!
