Get the lock your doors mug.A common rent-seeking practice where vendors design structures and contracts to give them control of customer data and code.
The steps involved in vendor lock-in are:
1) Identify lower-IQ management to engage with
2) Insert clauses into contracts where vendor retains customer data and limit customer access
3) Insert clauses into contracts where code development commissioned by the customer is proprietary to the vendor
4) Say whatever is necessary to ensure customer is at ease with the clauses, but ensure no such record
5) Sell customer's own data back to them, piecemeal
6) Resell the output of the code each time it is run
7) Collect economic profits

Vendor Staff: "The regulators of First Common Bank found evidence of overcharging . First Common needs us to pull account numbers on which customers got hit. I wrote up the query and pulled the data while I was on the phone."
Vendor Mgnt: "That's great. Let's write up a Statement of Work detailing requirements. Put in a long time frame for delivery, like a month or two. We'll price at your annual salary so it looks like we did some math. What is it again, like $127,400?"
Vendor Staff: "We can't charge that."
Vendor Mgnt: "Yes we can. Where else are they getting the data? They don't have it. I personally negotiated the vendor lock-in."
Vendor Staff: "We charged them $127,400 last time."

Get the Pace-Locked mug.A "supplementary" padlock that you irritably add to a staple already containing a padlock, to express your simmering resentment towards someone for preventing you from accessing whatever it is that he has secured with his own padlock; now he himself will not be able to easily access it, either.
Installing a hate lock is an effective but totally-harmless (i.e., it does not actually damage anything; the owner is merely delayed in proceeding until he finds some heavy-duty bolt-cutters) way to exact revenge on someone for locking up something. Extra points if you sarcastically use a pink heart-shaped "love lock" (especially appropriate for uncooperative exes) instead of just an everyday "generic" padlock to "doubly secure" the staple, or if you use a multi-hole lockout-hasp with six additional padlocks attached instead of just a single padlock, so that the original padlocker will have to really toil with da ol' angle-grinder for a lengthy period before gaining access himself. Plus if you're totally snortin'-mad and wish to really humiliate/distress him, you can even stake out the location and watch for him to arrive and begin cutting off the locks, and then you can make an anonymous 911 call so that the cops will come and investigate, since it would logically appear to others that he's trying to break in.
