75 Expensive Mistakes People Made That Might Make You Say “Ouch” Just Looking At Them (New Pics)
We’re all human, and we all make mistakes. It’s what we tell ourselves when things go wrong, and for the most part, it’s true. But here’s the thing: not every slip-up is created equal. Breaking a plate during dinner is unfortunate. Backing your car through the garage door? That’s going to sting a lot more. Both are accidents, sure, but the consequences couldn’t be more different.
Below, we’ve gathered a collection of painfully expensive mistakes people have shared online, the kind that make you wince and instinctively check your bank account just looking at them. Scroll down to see the photos, and maybe send some sympathy to the folks behind them. They could definitely use some.

Meet Bonnie, Our 3-Month-Old Collie. During The Night She Discovered A Can Of Blue Paint With A Loose Lid

I would DIY the rug with the same blue paint as a stain and wash it out with the pressure washer outside or have the professionals rinse the excess paint out leaving the blue stain behind. Would be much more pretty.
highwaycrossingfrog 13 hours ago
Can you imagine how many tiny pots of paint would be needed to dye that whole rug?? It's really not worth shelling out hundreds of dollars, not to mention all the time and effort, to - if you're lucky and it works - end up with an ugly blue rug instead of an ugly beige rug.

This happened at my husbands previous job the day after he quit over safety concerns. Guys were showing up high and drunk, management didn't care, and sure enough one of them knocked the sprinkler pipe putting something on a shelf on a rack and the whole thing let go. Expensive mistake considering they were warned repeatedly by staff that there were issues.
Sometimes the simplest errors turn into the most expensive lessons. When it comes to famous blunders, few can match the scale of what happened to France’s national railway company in 2014. SNCF ordered 2,000 new trains worth billions, only to discover they were too wide for over 1,000 of the country’s train platforms.
The company had measured newer stations but neglected platforms built more than 50 years ago. The error forced them to spend an additional 50 million euros widening 1,300 platforms over two years, turning what should have been a triumph of modernization into an expensive reminder to double-check your measurements.

About five years ago my family spent the weekend in a house on the beach. We didn't know there was a big festival going on, with much alcohol involved. On Saturday evening the tide was out, and people were driving, and parking, on the sand. When we woke up on Sunday morning we could see a half dozen or so vehicles that had been left parked there, but now were in water up past the axles, and that was just what we could see from the house we were staying in. Who knows how many there were on the whole beach.

In London, a skyscraper became famous for melting cars. The building at 20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed the Walkie Talkie, created an unexpected problem during its construction in 2013.
Its concave glass facade acted like a giant magnifying glass, focusing sunlight onto the street below with such intensity that it warped car panels and melted plastic parts. One Jaguar owner found his side mirror and bodywork damaged after parking nearby for just an hour.
The phenomenon earned the building a new nickname: the Walkie Scorchie. Developers eventually installed a permanent sunshade at a cost of around £10 million to fix the problem.

NASA experienced one of the most frustrating mistakes in space exploration history in 1999. The Mars Climate Orbiter, which cost $125 million to build, was lost because of a simple measurement mix-up.
Engineers at Lockheed Martin used imperial units while NASA’s team used metric units. Nobody caught the discrepancy until it was too late. The spacecraft missed its intended orbit and burned up in the Martian atmosphere. The entire mission vanished because it got lost in translation of mathematical language.

The business world has seen its share of spectacular misjudgments. In the early 1990s, Quaker Oats bought Snapple for $1.7 billion, convinced it would dominate the beverage market. The acquisition turned into a disaster, and just three years later, Quaker Oats sold Snapple for only $300 million.
The loss was staggering, made even more painful by the fact that Snapple continued to thrive as an independent brand after the sale. Sometimes the best business decision is recognizing when a partnership simply isn’t working.

Spain faced an engineering nightmare that sounds almost impossible to believe. Designers working on the Isaac Peral class submarine made a decimal point error in their calculations, making the vessel 100 tons heavier than planned.
The mistake meant the submarine would sink to the ocean floor and never resurface. Engineers caught the error before construction began and redesigned the submarine to be longer, but then discovered it was too large to fit into the port where it was being built. The cascading errors turned what should have been a routine military project into a costly lesson in precision.

Cultural attachment can be stronger than taste test data, as Coca-Cola learned in 1985. After conducting nearly 200,000 blind taste tests showing consumers preferred a sweeter formula, the company replaced its 99-year-old recipe with New Coke.
The backlash was immediate and intense. Protest groups formed across America, consumers stockpiled the original formula, and the company received up to 8,000 complaint calls per day. One person even wrote to the CEO addressing him as “Chief Dodo.”
Just 79 days later, Coca-Cola brought back the original formula as Coca-Cola Classic, having discovered that some things matter more to people than taste.

Delicate Evening Operation On The A4 Highway At The Valmy Rest Area. A Heavy Truck Transporting Utility Vehicles Crashes Under The Canopy Of A Gas Station
Nicole Weymann 19 hours ago (edited)
Short answer: idiocy (or at least absent mindedness) at work. Long answer: I'm guessing the truck - apparently a two tier car transporter, so the trailer and its load of vans was even taller than the driver's cabin - was too tall to fit under the gas station roof. The truck got stuck and the edge or the roof wedged with the rear end of the first van on the trailer.

Sydney Harbour Bridge used to be the only way to get from the north to the south of Sydney (and vice versa). Way back in the olden days it had toll booths that had height limitations (you can see where this is going). Every now and then a big truck would think that they could make it, rather than going the long way around over the bridge about 10km-ish to the west without height restrictions. They would get jammed in the toll gates and create hours and hours of chaos. Ahh, those were the days.

In 2005, a stockbroker at Mizuho Securities in Japan made a typing mistake that cost the company around $225 million. Instead of selling one share at 610,000 yen, he accidentally offered 610,000 shares at 1 yen each.

Absolutely Shattered
Laszlo Larthlanc 18 hours ago
I have a friend who took a job at a place that distributed large plate glass windows for stores. This was before tempered glass was required by law for any and all public facing windows. On his first day at the job the floor supervisor told him, "If you're ever handling a large plate and you lose control of it, LET IT GO and move away from it as fast as you can. Do not try to save it. You're replacing an employee who tried to save the glass, and was cut in half, bone and all. We can replace the glass, but we can't give you your life back." My friend left that job at the end of the day because he couldn't get the visual image out of his mind.
