Debt pronWatching TV the other day we caught one of these "Bank of Mummy or the Wife" type shows and we thought, "This is Debt Pron." I.e. peoples financial problems exploited for the voyeuristic pleasure of others. Then we thought, "We bet lots of people on B3ta have massive financial problems. Let's exploit them." So, confess them all. Dodgy credit cards, lending money to some bloke in the pub, visits from the bailiffs, using one card to pay off another. We want to wallow in your fiscal pain. So, what is your biggest money fuck up?

You're all boring liars...Apart from those of you that aren't.
About 15 years ago, I left about 20 large fire ventilators in place, --but not screwed down (important)-- on the roof of a brand new giant ASDA warehouse in Leicestershire on a friday afternoon so me and my crew could drive back to manchester early, and get a night out.
(Imagine an aluminium pool table... that's about how big each of these vent things were, so I decided that screwing them down immediately was unnecessary.)
Imagine my hungover surprise that Sunday... that was that windy weekend that all of us over 25 (or whatever) remember, where the bloke from 'ello 'ello got brained by a falling tree - well, every one of these vents blew out of their holes, bounced and rolled across this football-sized roof and off the edge into the JCB parking area.
£55000 damage caused
hmm - that's not really a debt is it.. dah, should have thought about this a bit more
edit - football-pitch sized that is
