You've never had co-workers pay stupid and annoying pranks on you?   I
left for home one day, to find out shortly afterwards, that someone had
loosened every single nut and bolt on my bike.  I'd sooner not make
things easier for people to make a pest of themselves.

Then there's stupidity (booting from some install disc that installs
crap onto a system or wipes out existing systems), and plain
maliciousness.  I spent over a dozen years working in schools, and the
lengths that some would go to be a pain was quite astounding.  It was a
shame they couldn't put as much effort into other things.
