technically, it was the building department's mistake for losing my drawings. I waited around so I would not have to make another trip to the building department (which I would end up billing my client for)
i guess it depends on how your contract is written. mine is written such that any out of pocket expense that are related to the job are billed in addition to fees.

i'm not sure this is a serious question or not, but i don't bill my client for my mistakes.

ah, sure what the hell.
had a paid the $20 to park in the garage, can I bill them for that?
try charging the client, mostly they will fire you...so all your problems will end

In the end surely the client pays for everything - unless your firm has some other means of income.

maybe a parking ticket is somewhat extreme, but what out of pocket expenses do you usually end up charging a client for?
