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.

Further Acts of Petty Sabotage
(1)In my current role, we have a regional security person who is by any standards a self-important jumped up little pedant, who enjoys being a jobs worth. I hid a security tag on his samsonite brief case, thus making sure he got searched by the manager of every store he visisted, when the alarm activated on his way out. Ha ha, you Cnut.
(2)Whilst a bookseller, it was not unknown to remove the last 2 pages of a novel with a sharp knife on special orders, where the customer had been a right prick.
(3)Before finally closing the store I worked in, after the company decided to shut us, I took all the redundant memebers of staff to the most expensive italian restraunt in town for lunch, sent in the reciepts, and then blamed the Regional manager for the misunderstanding about my now defunct expense account.
(4)I rearranged my bosses performance documents, which we use to track our sales/wages/spending/etc, etc, for our own reviews, such that it made no sense and was totally sync with his manager's agenda. Cue 3 hours of "It's in here some where." & "I am really sorry I am not this usually disorganised". He blamed one of his senior colleagues.
The postscript to this was 6 months later 2 other manangers decided to do something similar to him again but this time pissed about with his "Tartgets and Actuals" so it looked like he had a really shit half year! Cue second bout of grovelling and apologising
