So read their tales and try not to fall prey to their mistakes. One man’s life-altering mistake can be turned into a valuable cautionary tale, so don’t forget it!

These people admit to the most expensive mistakes they’ve ever made:


1.

Not wearing my retainer after getting braces removed… Wear your retainers, people.

2.

Not me, but a friend trained to be a fireman and the first month on the job crashed one of the fire trucks. Crashed as in wrecked. He’s no longer a fireman.

3.

When I was welding 1) screwed up a $65,000 door. 2) may or may not have blown a hole in a $1,000,000 + missile launching platform.

4.

Had a part time job as a teenager at a Yamaha dealership that sold dirt bikes, atv’s, motorcycles. I was told one day to deliver a Raptor to some address. Well, I loaded the atv up on the trailer and took off in the truck down the road. I noticed that the truck was low on gas so I pulled over and filled her up.. I made it about 1.5 miles down the road and the truck started running funny and eventually cut off.. I had put gasoline in a diesel truck.. I was fired about 4 days later.
