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?

More helpdesk nonsenseWhile working for a local government agency I had the pleasure of dealing with several ridiculous IT helpdesk calls, but only one was funny enough for me to remember it now...
Phone rings, I pick up:
Caller: Hello!!? It's on fire!!
Me: Pardon? What?
Caller: It's on fire! It-it-it-it's burning our eyes!!!
Me: Please calm down Sir, what's on fire?
Caller: The screen! It's on fire and it's burning our eyes! What should we do?!
Me: Have you turned it off at the mains? Have you called the Fire Brigade?
Caller: Not yet, thought we should call you first to check what we should do.
Me: Well, it would be best to turn it off and call the Fire Brigade. Then get a new monitor.
