Costly Mistakes That Hit The Wallet Hard

Everyone makes mistakes, but some are most costly than others. You should always be aware of your surroundings when you're doing things with expensive items.

If you're renting a moving truck, always get the insurance. Never text in a fancy sports car, and keep your eyes on the road. Here are the most expensive mistakes.

It was her first time driving a U-Haul, and she completely forgot about the clearance issue.

This is when you have faith that someone else was smart enough to get the insurance for the rental.

This is a 2008 yacht, originally priced at $80M. If you want to talk about expensive mistakes, this is your chance.

It looks like it had three levels to it as well. Hopefully, no one lost any valuable personal items as well.

Companies pay top dollar for advanced technology that helps keep their business running smoothly. Servers are a part of that.

If you happen to make one tip over like this accidentally, you've probably just destroyed more than your salary.

There's no way the boat deserved this ending. It looked like it had a great time cruising the water.

At least it looks like no one got hurt during the process. It was just probably a huge scare.

They are fierce dogs that hardly have a filter. Unless they're trained correctly, you're in for a ride.

This is a tank misfire, but you can bet that Wile E. Coyote had a hand in this.

Trying to secure that fast roadrunner isn't an easy task. Things like this will happen all the time. I don't know why he looks proud.

What was that SUV thinking? They probably thought they had the car in reverse, but it really wasn't.

Crashing into a McLaren dealer has to be the most expensive thing someone is capable of doing.

This was a huge deal when it happened. The skyscraper-sized boat would get caught sideways in the Suez Canal, halting the trade.

There's no telling how much money it cost per hour it was stuck, but it was there for a long time.

No matter which way you look at this mistake, it hurts your wallet. Even if you had nothing to do with it, it's painful to see.

It would be even worse if there were people inside the home when the crane fell.

This driver spun off the road in an Audi when the speed limit was only 30 mph. That's got to be a record.

How fast were they going in that zone for this to happen? Their insurance rate will never be the same.

When you forget about your bike on the roof of the car, things like this happen. That was a $5,000 bike.

You do the math and think about how much this costs to repair after taxes.

They thought one bridge was enough a long time ago, but it's time for another because water won't quit.

Building another one is going to be pretty expensive. They could've got it over with with the first bridge.

A train driver fell asleep in Chicago in 2014 and all hell broke loose. Falling asleep made them not stop the train in time.

It hit the buffer, ascended onto the platform and into the escalator. What a story.

I wonder if this was a two-person mistake or if one of the planes was parked on the runway.

If there were two pilots involved, someone should have seen this coming a mile away, but who knows?

No one got harmed during this and that's a miracle. That sign cut into the car better than a doctor making an incision.

Range Rovers aren't cheap cars either. If this were a Honda Civic, it would be a different story.

I don't think it would ever be a good idea for a street sweeper to traverse across a wooden bridge like this.

They might've blocked both entrances, but how are they going to get the street sweeper away without doing further damage?

Water shouldn't be catching on fire in the first place. It's a large body of water against some pipelines.

Maybe they didn't get fired after this. Perhaps they had a good enough excuse that could explain what happened.

Sadly, taking pictures in front of their mess doesn't sit that well. They knew their time was coming.
