The most outrageous moments of my career
#4
In an app that acts as a middleman, buying from one group and selling to another, nationwide, I once enabled a test account with coverage across the country (instead of just where we could sell). In less than 10 minutes, I had cost the business over $18,000 as we were buying pretty much everything all of our affiliates had to sell... and we couldn't do anything with that traffic except look at it sadly.

It took my boss three full days of calling our affiliates and begging them to accept returns. We got a little lucky there, since most of them have fairly strict policies that they never accept more than a 10% return rate.
