This is a question Clients Are Stupid

I once had to train a client on how to use their new website. I said, "point the mouse at that button." They looked at me with a quizzical expression, picked up the mouse and held it to the screen. Can you beat this bit of client stupidity?

I am the law!
From the top of my head, I remember one incident when I was working in an independent games shop.

Guy came in with a purpose, produced a game from his jacket (which he bought brand new from us earlier) and proceeded to open the box to show us the contents. Inside was a PSX cd clean smashed into 3 pieces - I suppose you can guess what happened can't you? Yep, the guy began putting forward his case for a refund, which went something like this:

Guy: Look it's broken, I want a refund.
Us: You can't have one I'm afraid, we don't sell games broken like that.
Guy: But I didn't do it, I'm telling you I bought it like this!
Us: But we personally check all games before selling them, we wouldn't sell you a cd in three pieces.

And so the conversation went on, and the bloke got madder and madder. By this time he was nigh on shouting at my boss while a a couple of us were sniggering at the other end of the counter. Then came the grand finale:

Us: Sorry, we can't refund you for this.
Guy: LOOK, I'M A POLICEMAN, WE DON'T LIE!

At this point we basically laughed the guy out of the shop, I'm surprised the smoke alarm didn't go off from all the steam his ears were producing.
