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".

"...and coming up next, we'll have more obscenities for your listening pleasure"As a student engineer at a radio station, I inadvertently played (on the air) a recording of myself spewing a torrent of obscenities after fouling up a recorded announcement. This might have resulted in a large fine for the radio station -- had anyone noticed. It probably helped that this happened on a weeknight, during the wee hours.
Length? Only 15 seconds for the announcement, but what seemed like an eternity waiting for the angry phone call(s) that never came.

no-one ever listens anyways...when i was a student dj, we were instructed to read the guidelines from the radio authorities so we knew what we could and couldn't say. some of them were fab, so i decided to see exactly how many of them i could violate on-air.
hypnotising someone on-air during the show turned out to be a bit dull, so a discussion of the regulations regarding such topics as necrophilia, peadophilia and making the beast with two backs ended up with me making allusions to 'skullfucking a child's corpse' in an attempt to get as many of them into play as possible.
not a single phonecall. not one. nothing.
to be fair, anyone i knew who might have been listening to it wouldn't have cared anyways - it was a late-night rock show, after all ;)
