i've fucked up a few machines when i first started learning plc systems. it's so easy to cause a catastrophe by putting an n/c contact where an n/o should be.
Cant say i've done anything like that, but i have managed to shut down a Cooking Oil Bottling Plant.....by downloading a PLC program because the PC Forces the PLC into stop!
Will have another interesting one to do soon..... Reprogram someone else's PLC Program to suit how they want the factory to run now.... whilst Live Production is running.....

How do you find Allen Bradley? like the Tech support you get?? or you not a priority?
I personally favour Omron and Mitsubishi.

Dont deal with there tech support. I work in the maintaince department so only deal with them when they go wrong or small upgrades etc
At college we used mitsubishi which i didnt really get on with very well, but since getting on the Allen Bradleys at work, ive much prefered them.

When I worked in a Bike shop I had a customer who wanted this BMX for his son, normally we would book the bike in so we can build one and check it over before the customer takes it the next day or a few days later.
This one guy was being a right arse about wanting it now so as it was fairly quiet I agreed to do the bike there and then, he waited around whilst I quickly checked over the bike and then took it. 5mins before we shut he came back in holding the seat in his hand saying the seat had come off it and the seat post had fucked his kid in the nads, I'd forgotten to tighten up the seat bolt  the assistant manager managed to keep the guy downstairs, brought the bike upstairs for me to tighten, luckily that was that. Wasn't bollocked and the guy didn't sue or anything Shitting it at the time, thought he was going to come upstairs and pound me for fucking over any chances of grandchildren

He probably did it to the son and just used the seat as a cover story.

Nope not so far. I'm not really in a position to be making mistakes in my job considering I'm now responsible for Protecting people on track, so there is no margin for error (100% pass mark for the exam). Mistakes such as forgetting to give the track back so trains can run in the morning costs about £3-4k per minute the trains are delayed though.

Once somone came into the Waitrose I worked at and asked me for a whole wheel of parmesan reggiano. I priced it up for them and they scanned it with a quick check gun and popped it in thier bag. It turned out they just walked out without paying for it and to this day I have no idea why someone would steel £80 worth of cheese 
I think that was more a mistake on the shops behalf because those quick check things are just opening the doors to theives.

Don't think I've ever done anything too major, well it's never turned out to be major
My first career direction, apprentice mechanic, my one mistake memory from this was running a Suzuki Wagon R without oil
Doing a service but was getting constant distractions, being asked to help with other jobs, I'd just refilled the coolant so started it up to make sure everything was ok, after a few minutes someone asked me to check their lights, when I got back to my service it wasn't running Asked if anyone had turned it off, no-one had then my mentor asked if I'd put oil in, there was a sudden realisation and a massive, oh shit, run feeling Topped the oil up, cranked it over...
Sweet as a nut 
Next career direction, pie deliveries, only thing I can think of there was driving my car into the side of a Peugeot Expert Cost just over £300 to sort both cars.
Next career direction, vending machines. One mistake there too, I dropped one 
I was getting a snack machine out of a container, it was on a pump truck, as I was getting near the end of the container I moved to the side to check where the wheels were. Just as I did that the wheels fell over the edge of the container, the machine started sliding down the truck then fell on it's back. Ragged it onto the forklift, took it round to our unit, stripped anything good out of it then was planning to scrap the rest but some pikeys nicked it before we got chance. The machine was only worth between scrap value and £300, hadn't got round to testing it so it could've been in perfect working order or knackered.
All pretty minor really compared to some in here

Easily done, I have that block plus a load of different flavour Gouda cheeses that I got last week when I was in Amsterdam. Before xmas I had a full wheel of Stilton as well, but that was my dad's xmas present

Nothing major, at the auctioneers, I let the wrong item go ( 2 identical items) which was about £100 difference.
Dropped a glass door for the range at the chippie, and forgot the odd thing off an order.
