This is a question Destruction, Demolition and Deconstruction

The Lone Groover says "I've just taken down a pergola with a metre-deep Russian vine over the top. It had nine birds' nests in it, and had rotted all of the cross timbers. It covered the entire lawn and needs a skip of its own." What's the biggest/worst thing you've ever taken down? Tell us your tales of demolition and wanton destruction.

A colleague has just got an electric pencil sharpener on his desk.
We keep shortening his pencils by a few centimetres every day after he leaves. Does that count?

Actually since you're sharpening his pencils for him,
surely that counts as a positive rather than negative?

We've been putting the shavings into the recycling bin to assuage our discomfiture.

Oh god, I can imagine him turning it over and over, 'ooh which end should I write with?'
until it's time to go home

No.
But if you set his sharpener in a nice strawberry jelly...
