Petty Sabotage
I once put magnets on my brothers collection of ZX81 cassettes, so when he attempted to play them, they were full of errors and yet apparently undamaged. Can you beat that? Tell us your tales of petty sabotage.

Ahh the wonder of being a geek at school
After many years of having no friends, and learning to love the shitty little excuses for computers in the labs at school.. I'd amassed quite the knowledge of how to mess up the computer lessons of all the techy-illiterate bastards who surrounded me.
Since I was in a class that I believe was formulated to give me maximum grief (7/8/9/10/11LWP... I HATE YOU) I had lots of targets.
Anyway, a fine creation of mine was to recreate the command prompt with a bat file whilst I was logged in. I'd direct someone who i despised onto the computer saying it was free. They'd type in their login, and their password.. this would then not log them in, but print out the login and password on the printer.
As they didn't log in right, and I was a geek, they'd ask me why it didn't work.. I'd tell them some crap, they'd go work with a mate, I'd go get the sheet of paper, then proceed to spend a lunchtime or two filling their user areas with stuff they shouldn't have, and propagating it across the network for everyone else's enjoyment :)
When it comes to hunting it down, the network administrators would find it nestled away in x's user area and they'd get a bollocking! YAY!
Chris Grahamslaw, you have a stupid name, and you stole my watch... but at least I got you banned from the labs for putting Mario on the system... or did you?
Heh heh heh
I enjoyed the geektastic nostalgia too much to even think about apologising for length.
