People Who Made Mistakes That Cost A Lot More Than Their Pride
If you accidentally drop a penny or lose one of your favorite keychains, you might be upset, but it's not going to cost you thousands upon thousands of dollars. If you accidentally pour concrete all over a shiny new sports car, well, that's a different story.
All of the people on this list made some very expensive mistakes. Keep reading so you can cringe along with them. Don't even ask us how much a new jetliner costs...
Don't Back Up
This yellow school bus backed over a shiny silver sports car, and now that car is effectively crushed.
I hope this bus driver has really good insurance. Same for the owner of the silver car...
A Workplace Accident
A machine at this factory malfunctioned and then it started spewing molten metal everywhere.
Well, it was a good day to call in sick from work. It looks like a dangerous place to be.
Someone Pressed The Wrong Button
Someone accidentally inflated a plane's emergency escape chute inside of the plane.
It's a good thing that the plane was totally empty. Also, this is going to be super expensive to fix.
Don't Cry Over Spilled Wine
This wine cellar looked sturdy at first, and then, all of a sudden, without any warning, it just fell over.
The whole floor of this cellar is now covered in very expensive spilled wine.
A Broken Satelite
If you thought you were having a bad day, imagine going to work and then dropping a $290 million Noaa-N Prime Satellite on the ground.
Do you think this guy got fired?
An Expensive Hunk Of Metal
This person just got a new Lamborghini and then, less than 20 minutes later, they totaled it in a pretty gnarly crash.
Luckily, nobody was seriously injured in this accent.
Dragged Along
This person closed their car door on their charging cable while their iPhone was still attached to said cable.
There's no way that phone is going to turn on after this.
Fireworks Are Dangerous
This entire house burned down after a firework landed on it. We didn't even know that this could happen with fireworks.
Maybe we should be more careful with them? Just a thought.
A Cement Spill
This car was just minding its own business when out of nowhere, a cement truck dumped cement all over it.
How do you even clean cement off of a car?
Don't Put Money In The Microwave
Somebody thought that it would be a good idea to microwave $5,000 in Canadian 50 and 100 dollar bills.
Well, this is what happens when you microwave a bunch of plastic money.
Right Through the Roof
This crane fell over and knocked a hole right through the roof of the house next to it.
It basically split the house in half. Now someone has to get a new crane and a new house.
Sinking In The Sand
This family thought it would be a good idea to park right on the beach, but they didn't take the tide into account.
Now their car is effectively stuck. There's no way they can push it out of the wet sand.
A Combat Plane That Never Saw Combat
This jet plane looks like it's been through a heck of a lot. It hasn't actually been in combat, though.
A technician accidentally fired off a Vulcan cannon and totally destroyed it.
They Dropped A Race Car
How would you feel if you dropped a very expensive race car right off the back of a trailer? Probably not very good.
Always secure your cars, folks. You don't want to end up in this situation.
So Much For This Old Car
What you're looking at in this photo is a vintage Aston Martin. This car is worth more than 1.5 million dollars.
Although, I don't know if that's so true anymore...
So Much Foam
Someone accidentally released a whole bunch of fire-resistant foam in this airplane hangar, and now all of the planes are covered in foam.
This isn't going to be easy (or cheap) to clean.
The Dangers Of Rising Garages
This home has an underground rising garage. It rises up like an elevator. Unfortunately, a car was parked on top of it when it started rising.
Now this house, the car, and the parking garage are in trouble.
Hail Ruins Solar Panels
People who invest in solar panels tend to live in sunny areas. People who live in sunny areas don't expect golfball-sized hail...
It turns out giant ice balls can really do a number on solar panels.
Don't Slip In The Shower
Not only did this person slip in the shower, but they slipped in such a way that caused them to totally destroy their toilet.
I guess it's time for a new bathroom...
The Internet's Down
This guy was drilling into some dirt when his drill got tangled in a whole bunch of internet cables.
I guess the internet is going to be down for a while.
A New TV
This guy just got a brand new TV.
He was all excited to power up some Netflix when he noticed that his new TV had a huge crack in it.
A Flat Tire
This person just wanted to go on a peaceful bike ride, but they ended up running over a stray nail.
The nail punctured the tire and now they have a flat tire.
Always Double-Check Your Paint Lid
This person didn't realize that their paint can lid wasn't secure, so they ended up in this literal mess.
That is one expensive paint job. How does this even happen?
That's Not Porcelain
This person thought that she had a porcelain countertop in her bathroom until she tried to take the sink out.
It turns out that the whole countertop was actually made out of tempered glass.
Down The Hatch
This kid accidentally dropped his Kindle into the elevator gap. Well, he's not getting that back any time soon.
Even if he could, it's probably broken anyway. This is the definition of bad luck.
Burning Toast
This person was just trying to make some garlic toast. It turns out that garlic toast is super flammable.
If this happens to you, just leave the toaster door shut.
A Perfect Storm
This is what happens when you leave a kid alone with a laptop and a permanent marker.
What did you expect? That he wouldn't write all over it? That would be insane.
Washed Out
This person accidentally ran their earphones through the washing machine. Let's just hope that they're still under warranty.
These things can be super expensive to replace. Who among us hasn't worried about doing this?
