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.

All this floppy disk drive destruction
makes me giggle.

I have a rather good one:

Guy at school pisses me off royally, so i was surprised to find a floppy disk near where he normally sat in our computing lesson. I took said disk and had a look at it, noticing they were his files, i decided to have some fun.

If you're very careful, you can split the casing on a floppy disk without damaging anything inside. If you then remove one of the little cotton pads from the plastic (there's a bit of glue on them, try not to rip it) and apply the mixture of ground up match heads and nail varnish (which i had prepared earlier), reapply the cotton, and glue the disk back together, it makes for a rather fun experience.

I gave him the disk back, told him i found it, he quipped "ha, i bet you deleted all my work didn't you, you cunt?". I sat and smirked.

It's rather funny watching somebody panic when not only is their one and only floppy disk containing all their work (which they were too stupid to back up onto the network) catches fire in the drive, not only destroying the disk, but the drive and several other components (the hard drive in that machine made funny noises from then on).

I claimed it must have been some fault with the drie.

I'm a cunt really.

Oh, and all you whiners - yes, this is sabotage!

Definitions: 1. Destruction of property or obstruction of normal operations, as by civilians or enemy agents in time of war.

2. Treacherous action to defeat or hinder a cause or an endeavor; deliberate subversion.

I believe it fits number 1 rather well.
