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".

When trust goes wrongI was in a theatre group as a crew member last year at the end of high school. I bought a sweatshirt and some t-shirts (cash up front, very important to remember) from the head of it, who I never pegged to be the dodgy sort.
After much excuses and a promise to mail it to me still nothing has came, it is the end of October and I ordered it in June. $52 right down the loo.
Not funny or a substantial sum of money lost, but it still irks me that I trust someone (rare as it is) only to have them take the money. And at the end of the year show a month prior to this the cunt gave everyone on the crew an award of recognition except for me. Most of the people there sat around on their ass talking before shows and I was the one to do a lot of heavy lifting (some of which were sharp because of metal)
btw My first qotw (and post) Cheers all!
