This is a question 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.

Sad Sabotage In Shop
When I used to work for a local computer store, we spent many a time sabotaging anyone's equipment, ranging from the petty to the downright pointless. Here's a few for starters;

1 - Someone would go to the newsagents and buy a mars bar. He'd place it down, turn his back for ten seconds, then find the mars bar being eaten by me and 35p sitting in it's place. "What, I thought you bought it for me, I did ask."

2 - Leave the mars bar there, after mummifying it in a casket of half a roll of masking tape. It was a race against time to see if you could unravel it before it melted into packaged goo.

3 - We had a shop window display which was wide and large enough for someone to unbolt the door and walk in, to the view of all the public staring in (which they normally didn't). So the YTS lackey in the store (or the "victim" as we called him) was ordered to go into the shop window and sort the display out. As soon as he was about 5 feet inside the display, we locked him in and stuck a sign outside the window which had big letters saying "Do not feed the animals", which we left there for a good hour and him included. He was YTS, it was bound to happen.

4 - We used to have lockers out the back, which were just off the main shop floor. A delivery guy who used to turn up regularly at the store had just delivered 2000 gay magazines to this club up the road from us, and still had a few spare in the back of his van. Cue sabotage oppertunity....we get a copy of this mag, and place it in the YTS guys locker, while he's busy doing chores and completely oblivious to the outside world. We notice that there's a new music CD in his locker as well. This is the distraction point. So we wait until the shop floor is busy, full of regular customers etc who all knew us, who were the unwitting audience. One of the guys asks YTS boy to see his new music CD, and we get our loud mouth manager to walk past the YTS boy as he opens his locker, and look in. This is timed perfectly, as the manager starts shouting "Oh my god, he's got gay porn in here! What's this doing in your locker you perve!" and starts waving the magazine out on the shop floor, much to the delights of all the shoppers, and totally humiliating the YTS'er at the same time.

YTS'er works in PC World now. That explains alot.
