The Art of Sabotage and Petty Revenge

    I'm sure I'm not alone in having had to work with, live with, or be at school with some real morons and pains in the arse. For those of you who are as small-minded and vengeful as I, here's my top ten "pointless but satisfying" sabotage and revenge plans:

    1: Swap the mouse settings on the victim's computer from right-handed to left-handed so the buttons are the wrong way around. Reverse, for lefties!

    2: Take a screenshot of the victims PC's desktop, then save it as a bmp or jpg image. Set it as the wallpaper, then remove all their desktop icons. Watch as they try and press things, to no avail.

    3: Change the auto complete settings of various oft-used words in MS Word. A favourite at a place I used to work was to replace "financial" with"tightwad" and "department" with "deskjockeys".

    4: Push a pin through the victim's TV aerial cable at some point where it enters their house. The pin will touch the inner and outer core and interrupt the signal by shorting it out. When the TV engineer turns up, take the pin out. Repeat 'til you get rumbled or bored.

    5: Students: got a flatmate who's stealing your beer? Get a tube of car bodyfiller and drill a hole in the bottom of a can, sup some of the ale. Replace the liquid with a liquid laxative (or urine) and then cover the hole with the bodyfiller. Also works with some tinned food on stupider people.

    6: Run a length of wire from the victim's car's horn switch to their brake pedal switch. Every time they use the foot brake their horn will sound. Incredibly annoying.

    7: Use a pin to re-direct the jets of the victim's windscreen washers. Some can even be turned a full 90 degrees. Particularly effective when activated alongside a crowd…

    8: Another pin one, for banana fans: Poke a pin into the skin of the banana and carefully manoeuvre the pin through the flesh inside without piercing the skin. Repeat at 1 inch intervals. The watch as the victim's snack disintegrates as they open it.

    9: Download Pantera's "******* Hostile" to the victim’s PC, then set it as the Windows start-up music. Crank up the volume, and turn their PC off. Listen up for it restarting…

    10: I did this to a manager I didn’t like at a place I used to work, and it could probably be applied to any situation where you’re last out of the building at night and he's first in (and the bits are available):

    We got a coverall (or boiler suit) and gave it a spine and legs made from mop handles and crosspiece arms. We then stuffed it with used paper and old newspaper, and stuck a gas mask (we worked in a chlorine-rich environment at the time) on the top with the coverall's hood pulled up tight. We added safety boots and chemical-handling gloves to the effect, then propped it "face first" against the department door, which opens outwards. We then left by the department's back door…

    When the manager opened the door in the dark November morning, the "body" fell into his arms. To add dramatic effect, the head also came off. The two guys who were with him said he screamed like a teenager in a slasher movie. I wish I'd seen it. He was such a bellend. :-)

    Anyone got any more?

    Put blue/red food dye/paint into the tube on the shower heand. Classic :]

    Get white soap or a white wax crayon, and draw "cracks" on the mirror :]

    You know about delaying the action by coating the dye in cheese wax, right? :-D
