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".

expensive to me at the time
my ex and i had been split up for 2 years, but had remained close friends. so close, in fact, that he still came on family holidays with me and the folks.
last year, he wanted to go with us, but couldn't afford it. as i had a bit of spare cash and he(finally) had a steady job, i agreed to lend him £260.
you can see where this is going, can't you?
the holiday went well, getting my money back proved more difficult.
he moved house without telling me, changed his phone number, transferred to a different branch, the lot. i managed to get some money back due to running into him at my local shopping centre and threatening to kill him if he didn't pay up. he was with his new girlfriend, too, so i took great pleasure in telling her he was an untrustworthy twunt. i also informed her that he'd picked up genital warts after we'd broken up. seems she caught them from him, but he'd blamed her for it.
he still owes me £120, but at least i had the pleasure of seeing his new love punch him right in the gut in the middle of Tesco's before dumping him on the spot :)
