Photo: KentOnline Human errors often have humorous rather than safety critical consequences. The two examples here illustrate system failures which caused embarrassment for the organisations involved, but probably nothing more.
In the top example, a sub-contractor working on street repairs after gas main works made the road marking error. Instead of marking the temporary space as 'DISABLED', a rather different marking was made. The operator was probably doing the best they could - the real failure is in the system that allowed the error to occur. See the KentOnline news report for the full story.

Again, the error lies in the system somewhere, not with the individual carrying out the marking. For the full story, see BT.com.
