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".

Doing a PhDWhy did I not just go and do some job or other, rather than being a student for another 4 years! Lots of lost wages. Bah.

I'm with you mate!Got friends who did either half the time at uni or just chose to work their way up who are earning 3-4X more than the crappy money i'm on now. Worse still i took a payCUT this year because i got some kind of bonus for the first two years, hang in there, cos we both know it definitely won't be worth it in the end!

Feeling it, bro'Spent too long at university, to the extent that, by my late 20s, I was looking forward to paying income tax, just because it would mean I was earning above the (low) threshhold. I was almost 30 before I hit the minimum wage... and embittered cretins at the dole office were not sympathetic to my plight.
Mais, alors: je ne regrette rien.

I wanted to do a PhD after unibut a combination of not being friends with the lecturers and getting a 2:2 put a stop to that.
Am I bitter? HELL YEAH!

I regret nothing eitherI still hope that one day, perhaps, there will be a clear cut reason that makes me say, "Yes, it wasn't just another 4 years pissed up the wall."
