Cheating cheaty cheats
I'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

Minesweep for idiots
In my old workplace, there used to be a back-office PC for stocktaking/faxes etc. One of the guys who worked there was a right drybread called Ian, who was the target of so many jokes it was almost a gypsy curse. This time it was Minesweep on the old computer. He managed to beat the Beginner High Score and was proud, with bragging stories etc being told as if it meant anything whatsoever to us. But it did mean something to him. So...
When he wasn't looking I edited the winmine.ini file in the Windows directory so that when he read the high-scores again he was greeted with;
Beginner : 4 seconds : Ian is
Intermediate: 8 seconds : a complete
Expert : 32 seconds : Cuntpipe
He wasn't impressed.
