Petty SabotageI 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.

christmas tapeWhen I was at university, the compsci 3rd and 4th years shared a computing lab. When we were programming in the afternoon (or into the night) we'd generally have the lab hifi on radio 1.
But around the festive season, there was a casette tape that had to be played almost continuously. Imagine it, weeks of crappy christmas songs you're already sick of played ad infinitum.
Until one day the tape wouldn't play. It barely fit in the casette drive and the wheel wouldn't turn. It was certainly warped but no one had a clue what had happended to it.
Simple, I'd microwaved the little fucker.
