But while everyone experiences a bit of bad luck every now and then, the vast majority of our mistakes will – thankfully – not leave us with huge repair bills or, worst yet, a complete write-off.
But unfortunately the same cannot be said for some of the truly shocking – and hilarious – situations in these photos from around the world, courtesy of the internet group ‘That Looked Expensive’ and featured on Bored Panda.
While not caused solely by human error (the weather and pets have also caused carnage in some cases), they all feature failures where the stakes couldn’t have been higher.
