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".

Washing a MotorbikeYou'd think it would be easy would you not? Using the powerhose the muck is coming off well, for the finale I thought I'd just put it up on it's centre stand to get to the hard to reach bits, whilst lifting onto the stand my foot slipped on the soapy floor, the bike fell over away from me destroying all the right side faring, the mirror and bending the brake lever and dragging me down on top of it. To make it worse as it had fallen close to the wall I couldn't get enough leverage to lift it by myself so had to fetch the wife as well who was trying her best not to laugh. the humiliation and cost of putting that right :(
Length about 2 metres and soapy. *cries*

I forgot to mention......A bit further down (Where I did the same thing with my VFR)
It was also too close to a wall, which meant I was standing around for 45 minutes trying to pluck up the courage to go next door and ask the two brickies to pick it up for me (As I'd mullered my back trying to lift it)
Ugh:
