mobile phones
I recently quit my job and when I left I had to hand in my company mobile phone. Before handing it over, I ran the battery down, then turned the phone off, not bothering to mention that I had changed the SIM code. There was just enough battery to turn the phone on and type in the wrong code 3 times before the phone turned off completely. I also 'forgot' to hand in the charger. Once they had bought a new charger and called customer services to reset the SIM number, they gave the phone to my replacement, who took 2 weeks to work out why customers were calling the Managing Drector's direct line and asking to speak to me. This was because they hadn't changed the long-distance access code to the voice mail so I was calling every morning and changing his message to say "This is Ellen Smellen, the number you have dialed is no longer in use but you can contact me on my direct line (insert MD's phone no here)"

I also reformatted the hard drive on my computer and reset everything to factory settings and put all of my files through the paper shredder before I left.

The coup de grâce was realising that the IT bloke hadn't changed the admin access codes for the product web site after I left so one day I logged on and changed every single link to redirect to a rival product's website.

The irony of it all is that my ex boss (now a very good friend) knew what I was doing but she was so pissed off with them she helped me out by telling me when the new guy's phone was likely to be switched off etc. She got fired less than a month later...

Length is important. I will never apologise. Infact, I demand length.

Edit: this is not really revenge as they hadn't really done anything particularly bad to me, I just didn't like them very much
