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".

I couldnt care less.I resigned from my shit-box job last Friday - I'm so happy I think anything's brilliant at the moment.

I think it's subtly differentCloser to the why I should be fired one. It does go in the direction of your own errors, rather than maliciousness, however

Well, it's funny you should mention it...... but the other week, I had just got out of the shower and was chasing an annoying fly around, whilst still 'au naturelle'. I chased him up into the loft and knocked the loft hatch shut, and by an interesting combination of awkward positioning and downright bad luck, managed to slam my spam javelin in the loft hatch.
Ouch!

Infactthe differences are not even that subtle.
"Have you been conned" is very different to "Have you made a monumental cock-up that was your own fault and cost someone a lot of money."
