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".

Why I care.I love a good anecdote. What makes an anecdote funny is that it actually happened, therefore it could happen to any of us. I laughed like a loon when I first read your tale of a wanking tramp ruining your first date, I also laughed at the story of the disgruntled nurse you pebble-dashed with poo by mistake. However, reading the above chain of unlikely events strips the credibility of all your other QOTW entries, and they stop being hilarious anecdotes and just become slapstick fiction.
I understand that it is of no great importance, the world will not end; people will not die. It just means that from now on I will read your QOTW entries with cynicism.
