This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

I bought an example Uni essay
For what I thought was 5 cents. It was 5 cents *a page* [edit] (Sorry. 5 dollars.) [/edit] :S
It cost me over 280 quid at the time, and the best of it was, it was absolutely useless.

Also, thinking "I'll take my good camera to the second NiN gig. It was fine at the first one, it'll not get damaged".....
Cue a 300 quid camera getting covered in cider by a twat behind me, the lcd blinking off, and it never working again.

Long essay
So the essay was over 10,000 pages long at 5 cents per page? Shurley shome mishtake...

and at 50 cents per page, that would still be over 1000 pages. You sure?
