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".

Not looking where I was going...Pulled out in front of a thoroughly nice asian chap who didn't have a hope in hell of avoiding me. Had to fix both cars but, since I'm a friend of a local geezer, I got it done for about £500.
While the car was in for repair I had to buy a replacement to get to work. £2500.
Got the repaired car back but could never quite trust it after that. Bought Mrs. Dickus a replacement. £5000.
So all in all my debts are about £8k higher than they should be (and that's before I bought the personalised number plate!) because I didn't look where I was going. Bugger.
