The Star Trek Pie-Eating Contest

I approved a brochure print (100K) with the wrong hours. Had to have them reprinted.

While I was at work, I had a close friend that said he knew about a stock that will make him rich and he was putting almost all his savings and paychecks into it. He said he wasn't telling anyone about it cause he can tell a good person from a bad and he felt I was a good person and he said he wish me and my family wealth. I listened to every word he said then just brushed it off that he is an old man. I had just listened and been polite. It was stock for the satellite radio. He is now retired with his 2 dogs and likes to travel. Good people do get rewarded I should of listened to him.

I wrecked my company van - pulled out in front of someone.

Actually, lots of folks around here have similar stories to Zestyping's. I have at least two "could have retired on that" mistakes.

Lightweights.
I blew up $1.8 million dollars worth of electronics by accidentally testing them to the wrong program.

Twice.

How do we know this guy wouldn't have done a terrible job at Google - so terrible that the young company never got off the ground?

Maybe hiring this guy almost became Larry Page's most expensive mistake??
