Can you think of a bad decision from your own school or work experience, or from recent business or political news stories, that was made in an effort to correct or justify a past decision?

Explanation:

Personal Experience:

One time I had to turn in an assignment for the company that I worked for which needed to be done and turned in by the end of the workday. I failed to do so due to family issues. This assignment was incredibly important and failure to turn it in would have cost the company a lot of money. So I stayed up all night and finished the assignment. I ended up breaking into the office in the middle of the night to turn it in before the boss found out. It was a bad decision since I could have gotten arrested or fired.
