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?

User willingly broke laptop screenCaught this "episode" from the corner of my eye when visiting a department.
We just rolled out anti-virus software through our network, (login script type thingy) Post install the software requests a scan of the hard disk and asked the user to confirm in the form a big button in the middle of the screen, about 4 inches by 3 inches, saying "Click here", the user did (with his index finger). After a couple of attempts pressing his thumb against the screen (so all the elements burnt) the user was getting a bit frustrated, decided to use all his force. Hence a "pop" sound and laptop, not fit for work.
The icing on the cake when this "middle" manager looked around to see if anyone had seen his embarrassing hand-fistedness catches me shouting "You idiot!"
