The toilet seat cover was loose in the maid's toilet. I always assumed the screw was broken and went shopping for a new cover. While shopping, I found replacement screws were available. So I bought the screws and was trying to replace the "broken" screw when I found it was just loose and needs to be tighten. I wished I try to fix before I went to buy the replacement. I was too hasty and made an assumption without checking. Luckily, the screws cost only $2. So it is a small mistake. New covers cost $18 to $35. NTUC has the cheapest at $6.90 but the cover is very thin and flimsy.
This is just a small example. In life, it is very common to make assumption that could lead to costly mistakes.
