Back in 2000 Coca-Cola had an auction site. I put a HTML comment tag in my username and the words "AUCTION ENDED". The result of which was that whenever I bid on anything it would erase the bid submit button after my name -- therefore no-one else could bid on anything.

This worked for a short time. Then my account disappeared with all my (very hard earned) credits in it. Then I received a letter from the MD of Coke UK telling me I was a very naughty boy.
