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".

Not the most expensive mistake but...
...quite an expensive mistake. I was on holiday is Spain last summer after finishing Uni, met a nice girl in the hostel. My last night before I go to Valencia we stay up all night chatting and eventually get to kissing. Anyways we go down to the station, kiss goodbye etc, then I get on the train to Valencia.
Whilst sitting on the train I realise I dont really want to go to Valencia, id rather stick around for a sure fire shag....but by now the train leaves. So I spend 3 hrs going to some pisspit town called Lineas Baeza, then buy a ticket back forfeiting my hostel reservation and rest of ticket to valencia, 3 hrs back....go and get a swanky hotel room in granada. Im thinking this will be "romantic" coming all this way back to see her. Easy result. Fail to get any sleep in afternoon. Go to hostel to see the girl and it turns out she is "kind of going to see this guy from Paris she met next week." So no loving then, que a lot of cash spent.

The worst thing is when i got up the next morning (after severe sleep deprivation) in the hotel room, and went for a cig on the balcony, I shit meself.

The moral of the story. Always do things now cause if you hestitate and stop and think about them they will turn to shit.
