I'll start with the below little drilling mistake, which was posted on Digg recently.

There was a fascinating article about this in National Geographic a few months back. Will be interesting to see the kind of money the drilling company will be faced with paying if it ends up conclusive that their drilling was responsible for this disaster.

I tried to find an exact quote, but could not, but I recall the Hopi saying that if we dig in the earth for valuable minerals, we invite disaster. "Disaster," BTW, literally means "bad star."

Resume mistake:

Candidate explained a gap in employment by saying it was because he was getting over the death of his cat for three months.

Application mistake:

Applicant turns in completed application for job at a convenience store, then wants to buy a pack of cigarettes. Only has $0.40. Panhandles other customers. Application is round-filed. This really happened.

I can't really think of any good ones but i like the idea of this thread so i'll contribute something to bring it ttt.

I walked out of the shower today and dried myself and my hair. As I started to put my towel away, I realized that I forgot to wash my hair! So I hopped back into the shower.

Haha. I'll one-up ya: On more than a handful of occasions, I've stepped out of the shower, only to realize I never rinsed the conditioner out of my hair... but realizing it after I've toweled down my coif. Hopping back in the shower? Check. Forcing a towel into early laundering? Check. Having to walk to the linen closet for a new towel while sopping wet and soaking the floor/carpet? Check.

Oops!

Put on headphones, turned on amp, played music, cranked up volume, but no sound.
Check DAC is on. Good.
Check sound card drivers. Good.
Check Headphone cable. Not plugged in.

coming home from work at 10pm. stopped by the grocery, bought some food and a gallon of apple cider. didn't have a tag so i had to tell the carshier it's $3.69. left it there on the counter, drove home then found out there is no apple cider.

Sort of in line with the shampoo oops:

I went to wash my hands before dinner at home, pumped soap into my hands and started rubbing into my hair. It was a long day and somehow I got confused and thought that I was pumping out shampoo from a shampoo bottle during a shower instead of simply washing my hands... My family was quick to start eating without me so it was okay.

By the way, the Lake Peigneur thing was nuts. Glad no people were hurt. Too bad for the wildlife and plants.
