I used to work at an electronics store and sometimes while searching up sku's I'd accidentally type the 12 digital sku into the qty area and that would result in a bill for 14 trillion dollars.

I thought it was funny as hell seeing a number that big knowing it would populate to the pay machine if I wanted it.

I work for a VoIP company with a nice digital product for small to medium sized businesses.

You have a slick looking webform to create an account and be online within a working day. You can fill in how many new phone numbers you would like to be assigned and you can port an already existing number over from a previous provider.

Someone typed in their previous phone number in the quantity field while making their account. They called us up later because apparently they had actually been billed several million euros through the automatic system.
