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.

Lord Manley...
I'm sure there are far worse people in the world than myself. And I feel I have been just in everything I do.
Another few, so this isn't a waste;
1) Living in shared accomodation is always gonna present it's problems, and although I never suffered from nicked food and the such, the lad that had the room above me used to like to listen to his music in the early hours of the morning, which would have been fine if he didn't have subs on his system. I found a great way to limit the volume he could get them to was to bridge the speaker termainals with resistors, so that when he turned it up too far the amp would trip due to short protection. It took him weeks to discover why the bass would suddenly cut out.
2) Logging into the managed switches at college and changing all the bandwidth policies because the techies were tits.
3) Installing linux onto all the computers in a room at college for the same reason as above.
4) Discovering the main techie's obsession with Xena warrior princess, and thus discovering his password. I created a few new users with admin priveliges, and then banned all the normal admins. The college had to get Novell support in to fix it.
5) Jamming the power supply fan of half the machines at an old job because they decided to make me redundant.
6) Changing the startup logos and other pre-logon graphics on a load of college machines.
