Expensive WeekendsChthonic says he's still reeling from a trip to a wedding that cost him nearly £600; while a friend of ours hazily presented his credit card to the bar staff in a shady club in the Baltic states. You know how that one ended.

Rubbish parking...Friend of my wife's used to get all sorts of stick from her boyfriend about her parking ability.
Back in January 2008 while out shopping she'd managed to reverse into a pillar in a carpark, bashing out the rear lights on one side of her car. Approximate cost: £150
Her boyfriend gave her the usual exasperated lecture about how she should be more careful and that spending £150 to repair this kind of damage was a waste of money, especially so soon after Christmas.
A few days later he was part of the flight crew that stacked a 150-tonne Boeing 777 into the tarmac at Heathrow. Approximate cost: £150,000,000
He's no longer allowed to criticise her parking.

To be fairthe pilots of the Boeing did have to put up with power loss due to fuel starvation. Bashing a car into a pillar is just careless!
