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".

Pickled PSXThese twins used to buy stuff in a computer games shop I used to work in. An odd pair of blokes, but we always had a laugh with them. This one particular day however, they both come in laughing to themselves carrying something in a tescos carrier bag.
"We'd like to do a part exchange please." they say.
"Certainly, what's in the bag then lads?" asks we. They open the bag and pour 3/4's of a Playstation and half a jar of pickled onions onto the counter. The PSX is smashed to bits and so is the jar.
"Ohhh....dunno if we can take that, I'll check with the manager" says we while laughing like feck.
It turns out that they used to keep the PSX and a telly in the kitchen. One of the twins was peckish and reaches up to the shelf above the PSX to get some pickes to go with a sarnie. He fumbled, dropping this jar straight through the centre of the PSX smashing it to pieces.
"No we can't take it sorry." says we.
"Any chance you can fix it then?" they ask. I get some masking tape and put a strip over the mess. After a few seconds deliberation, "No."
I did give them the Sony number though :)
