10 Ways to Sabotage a Presentation

1. Put as much distance as possible between the speaker and the audience.
2. Make sure the sound system works sporadically and then dies.
3. Keep the controls of the audio/visual equipment in an area that is difficult to reach.
4. Use audio/visual equipment that has amusing quirks, such as the tendency to lock up.
5. Alternate the temperature of the room so the audience is either freezing or baking.
6. Keep crucial information from the speaker.
7. Eat up a large portion of the speaker's time with announcements about other subjects.
8. Use uncomfortable chairs that will have people squirming within minutes.
9. Read a lengthy introduction of the speaker in a monotone.
10. Assure the audience that this is the greatest speaker they will ever encounter and that they can expect a riveting presentation.
