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.

language change
Some Nokia phones can display Arabic and Turkish. I changed the language setting of my mate's phone to Arabic one night when inebriated (I'd done it to lots of people before - oh how we all laughed...)
This time, no laughter. Just me, grinning and pointing at him with a snigger, while everyone around the table looked shocked. The victim of my prank started to get upset that he couldn't change his phone back to English, as the menus were all now in incomprehensible squiggles. He became like a brummy Basil Fawlty as each click on the buttons took him deeper into the labyrinth of encrypted menus...
He went red in the face with anger and demanded that I change it back, shaking the alien phone in my face.
I couldn't. I suggested he get his manual and work through step by step. He kicked me out of his house and hasn't spoken to me since.
Silly tit.
