    Made a fuuuuck up at work many years ago... 5 batches of product worth about €30k each ended up in the bin. :(

    Managed to cover my tracks though so it looked like an equipment malfunction.. Even got a promo for identifying the problem and suggesting a permanent fix :P

    Was in a house in Roscommon one day, broke Mings vase.
    He was ok about it though, said he'd put it down to expenses!

    First job was working in the stock room of a pottery/household store, they sold Louise Kennedy vases. We had one for £800 (back in pure euro), I was stacking it on the top shelf not realising a beam was missing, fell through the gap and smashed inside it's box. As a fifteen year old I panicked, stocked it again to the back of the room and made a wall of bad selling plates in front if it.

    It was found 2 yrs later by a friend who worked there after me apparently.

    Not the most valuable, but the most expensive thing I've ever broken was my fibula on J1. Obviously i had medical insurance, it was something like US$3500 and apparently that's way down the cheap end of the scale.

    Not really. I had to fly half way across the country on business one day and return late that night, which I was not too happy about. The screws that bolted the seat to the floor were loose on my flight out. I ended up breaking the seat (with a little work wink wink). Knowing a thing or two about the airlines, I knew it was the same jet on the return trip. I complained about the seat condition and said I would not fly in the seat on the return trip, knowing they would take it off line for repair and put us up for the night and provide dinner.

    (Oh yeah… Did I mention I was traveling with a cute ex-model co-worker who liked to party. Last thing I remember was carrying her across a 6 lane highway dodging traffic. And I had one hell of a hangover on the flight back the next morning)

    My Thai Bride. She didn't last long; inferior build quality.

    Got a nice strong recommended replacement now, a Russian. Not too pricey and works well in the fields.
