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.

Old fangledE-mail has brought a lot of new possibilities at work, but also closed some off. In my day (erm, I'm 32) it was memos. And you would put them on your manager's desk if they needed reading out at the weekly meeting. I left one on her pile which she read out. It informed the team that BT were dealing with static on the phone lines, so they would be blowing high pressure air jets down them. If the phones rang between 11 and 11.30am, staff were to answer them but then hold them at arm's length with the receiver pointed away.
It required laughter and incredulous stares from staff before she realised that there was something wrong.
