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".

Letterheads are goodA place where I once worked were loathe to hand out references.
The reason given was that they once employed a newly graduated young woman. Said young woman was a rather attractive redhead with a very fanciable body.
Anyway, she used her wiles to charm one of the bosses underlings to get her a blank sheet of headed paper complete with the bosses signature. "Just sign this.. and this.... and this..." Job's a good 'un.
She grabbed the paper and went away.... to fabricate a false position/experience/salary etc. She then attached said piece of paper to an equally false CV and sent it away. Result? A swanky job in New York and a free green card thrown in.
She also managed to put the former boss on the spot somehow so that, in order to not make himself like some gobshite who'd sign something without looking at it, he'd agree, over the phone that everything in her letter was completely true.
