Clients Are StupidI 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?

Old people in FranceBeing the young person that I am I keep being asked by the older generation of expat Brits to sort out their various technical problems, being younger than them they assume I know how to work all these newfangled picture boxes and such.
One problem I encountered from an elderly couple who were having problems watching a video on their TV, the picture was always black and white, now France decided years ago they were going to broadcast TV pictures using a SECAM signal whereas other countries use PAL or NTSC, as the TV was bought over here (SECAM) and the video was from the UK(PAL) I presumed it was just a compatability problem.
Turns out when I went to check on it the TV works with both systems (the French are finally converting to PAL), the offending, colourless video however was Schindler's list.
I made them buy a new video anyway as their old one couldn't recieve digital signals from Sky.
