VandalismI got a load of chalk, felt-tip markers and paint from friends one Christmas in a thinly-veiled attempt to get me involved with their plan to vandalise the toilets at the local park. My downfall: Signing my name. Tell us your stories of anti-social behaviour.
Thanks to Bamboo Steamer for the suggestion

Late night in the libraryHardly anti-social behaviour, unless you're a librarian, but here goes...
Back in the good old days before computers my college library had a card system. Each withdrawal was written on a card, which was stored in a box, indexed by title, showing the person who had withdrawn it and when.
A favourite drunken activity was to write out cards for fictitious books, apparently withdrawn in the name of friends. For example:
"Coping with a small penis"
"Masturbation and me"
"The dummies guide to sex with animals"
"I spy fat birds"
etc. The hope was that the librarian would come across them occasionally. The system was computerised a few years later, and I like to think it gave the student volunteers a few giggles. It was probably a lot funnier if you were pissed.

Some of those titles would definitely sell.Good to see the fine British tradition of making mischief in the library continues -

Mind you, they took a harsher line on such things in the 60s. Joe Orton got six months in jail.
