My old science teacher had a fish tank in the science labat school. Quite often he'd be a little late for classes as he had a lot of departmental meetings and we were supposed to be trustworthy sixthformers.
So we'd do things to the fishtank to see if he noticed.
This all started innocently - drawing fish, sharks fins, waterskiing stick people etc on the side of the tank.
When he objected to this, we had to get more creative, setting up a garden gnome beside the tank complete with baited fishing rod. That lasted nearly the whole lesson before he noticed.
Of course, someone had to take it too far, and put sugar in the tank, causing all the weeds to grow like wild and smother the poor fish.
He thought it was an accident and was genuinely upset over the whole thing, so much so that the culprit couldn't bring themself to explain the true circumstances.
