Deal Fatigue?

I have a whole respect for deal fatigue. During a recent conversation with a fried and prior to this conversation I have used the phase deal fatigue. What does it mean? To me it means no matter what actions I took, the deal took its own course of actions that required specific milestones not know at the beginning of the deal opportunity.

I recently came across the following and now use it in the tag line of all of my emails:
