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.

Acts of petty sabotage
This seems to be my stock in trade....
(1) We had an "phantom wanker" (don't ask) in the first bookstore I worked in who had stashed a 50 year anniversary copy of Playboy for his "use" so I covered the most thumbed pages in photocopier toner.
(2) Same shop, same magnet trick but on some part-timers taped music collection. It was all wanky John Cougar Mellencamp (sp?) and other US MOR. It was not getting played on my gheto blaster
(3) The tosser in my uni class got given shots of wee insted of whisky for turning up to a night out un-invited.
(4) I once worked in an off-licence one Xmas when I was a student and I would spend all morning shaking the Carlsberg Trampjuice, under the counter, until the tins were over-pressured then sell them to the local drunks in the afternoon when they came out of the Dole Office!
(5) Again whilst I was a student, it was announced by my falt mates that they had booked a cheap holiday thro' their Uni, they left at 6am the next day leaving me 4 sets of curry stained cutlery, plates and half empty foil trays. I stuck them in their beds for the 10 days (It was my flat)
6) Me and the wife got royally done over by a bespoke kitchen maker in Edinburgh, who had asked for 50% of the money up front but it turned into a disaster for both timescales and materials. I with-held his final fee and he went bust!
