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".

Was staying at my sister's place in Brighton ...There are double yellow lines outside her house. "It's okay!" she says. "I just found out that after six p.m. you can park for free!"
My car gets towed. £135 to get it back. My food budget blown for a month. I ended up having to learn to photosynthesise.
What hurts the most is that to this day, she refuses to take the blame for it. I suppose that's why she's now a successful banker in London and I'm a poor scientist.

Psssst.As any fule kno, double yellow means no parking at any time. Ever. Under any circumstances.
You'd have been looking for a single yellow line, if you were expecting a timed restriction.

"I ended up having to learn to photosynthesise"That is a great saying - classic.
