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.

Computer/office fun
My best must have been throwing a colleague a can of 3M Spray-mount (basically an aerosol of glue) when he calls over for some screen cleaner.
He really did spray his whole monitor before noticing. This started a small war of petty computer crime between us (we are mates) including hacks that made everything in the OS appear backwards like arabic, bluetoothing swearwords to each other, stretching elastic bands across everything on his desk (took about an hour to get the space usable again and similar petty-but-funny-ness.
Eventually it just descended into a war of raisins fired from catapaults made from bulldog clips, elastic bands and slivers of drinks bottles. More lethal than it sounds. He's left before Xmas but his laptop says "Big Dog's Cock" at startup instead of "Mac OS 9" (in the correct font naturally) after my witty ResEdit shenanigans...
Oh! Oh! My canadian friend at their equivalent of the BBC has a boss she really hates and somehow manged to pee into an atomiser bottle which she now sprays onto phone reciever, keys and seat when the boss has buggered off early. That is a winner I reckon.. :)
