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.

Fiddling with computer settings on Luddites; PCs
Had a few of these.
Main one was swapping the right- and -left hand buttons on the mouse.
Another was to take an alt-print screen of say, someone's Outlook screen. Paste it into Paint, save it as a jpeg, then set the image as their desktop.
Funny to see them clicking away, and trying to minimise the "window"...
No doubt there are much more sophisticated tricks now, but we derived much enjoyment ath the time...
