This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb 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'm starting to overtake a long flatbed lorry in my VW Golf on my way home from work.

Said flatbed pulls into my lane, THEN indicates, I have to slam on the anchors to avoid a collision.

"You CUNT!" [shakes fist, grabs hold of flash stalk and pulls]

*snap*

£100 from a VeeDub dealer for a new indicator stalk. Thankfully I fitted it myself without further outrageous expense.

Expensive mistake? £100?
I have to say it's not exactly in Nick Leeson/Barings Bank territory, now is it?

Nick Leeson? Hardly.
But it was a fucking expensive flash of the headlights.
