Expensive Mistakescoopsweb 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".

lost goodsI work in the bleeding edge, hardcore rock and roll industry that is Stationery, and used to have to key in orders for various goods.
I once managed to deliver £2,000 worth of shrink / bubble wrap to a depot that had closed the year before!
When chasing said missing order the supplier produced a valid P.O.D. (Proof of delivery for you that have a life) which means that some cheeky swine on the industrial estate had wandered over to the delivery guy, signed for, and then stolen the goods.
Whoops!
