Petty SabotageI 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.

Very petty, but amusingI did volunteer work with a charity that provides activities for special needs youngsters, and we were out on holiday in the new forest for a few days.
In the cabin we all stayed in there was a CD player, and everyone had brought their tasteless pop compilation CDs with them. Needless to say I got rather fed up of the shite music (things along the lines of the Cartoons - *shudder*) and all the special people dancing and running around like nutters.
Anyway, I discovered Radiohead's pyramid song lurking on one of the compilations, and discreetly set it to play on repeat. It took amusingly long for any of them to realise what had happened, and for a good few minutes they all carried on jumping around, but somewhat slower than before. It was as if I'd discovered a speed/hyperactivity control for special people!
