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?

Football (soccer) fans
Working for a Football Club on a match day has its MANY annoyances. Here is a conversation I had with one 'supporter' 15 minutes before kick-off for a high profile game that had been sold out for over a week.

Me : Hi, can I help you
Him: Yeah, I need two tickets for today
Me : Sorry sir, we're sold out
Him: What? Completely?
Me : Yes, sold out last week
Him: Not even two left
Me : No, we're sold out, there are no tickets left
Him: Not even two restricted view seats?
Me : No
Him: Ok, just give me two seats sitting apart from one another
Me : ?? We don't have any, we're sold out
Him: Ok, Just give me two for the ???? stand
Me : ?? Sir, WE HAVE NO TICKETS, WE ARE SOLD OUT
Him: WHAT?? THAT IS F*/KING SHOCKING, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, I'M A SHAREHOLDER, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,
Me : Bye now


Or this guy who phoned on a day our computer systems had crashed.

Me : Sorry sir, I can't get access to your file as our computers are down
Him: I just want information on my Season Ticket seat, can you do that
Me : We'll see, where do you sit? whereabouts are you situated (Meaning, where is your seat?)
Him: Oh, eh, Ah'm in a pub doon the gallowgate
Me : ????

There are too many more too mention
