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".

in my first 5 days
working in a multi-storey car park i was left alone twice, while my boss when on lunch.

The first time: arsehole on a rented moped drove straight through the barrier, breaking it off at the mechanism. Not entirely my fault really but I still got an unmerciful bollocking. Approx cost: 800 quid

The 2nd time: I go out to remove the cash from the pay station thingy. Broke the cash box off of its bracket when it wouldn't come out peaceably and I employed the brute force method. Another almighty bollocking. Approx cost: 600 quid.

Not bad for my first week eh?
