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".

No, I didn't tell them.See, this is an area of the world that's rich in good-ol'-boy networks. They had already passed the word that they had fired me and I wasn't a good employee. Had they also been able to pass the word that I had busted them, they would have made damn sure I couldn't work in engineering again. Even now I'm very hesitant to go into detail online for fear of retaliation.
However, when they got busted I did very quietly mention it to a friend who had been the scapegoat that they had fired before me, and we raised a glass together as we heard through the grapevine how our former employer got a lot of unwanted fame...
