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?

Paranoia at its finest....We have this one guy in the office, who would like to think he should be a hotshot web developer and PC repairman. In reality, he's at the bottom of the corporate food chain on the customer service desk. One lazy afternoon I'm at my desk when he appears behind me with a sheepish gape, can't look me in the eye, and asks if we have any new "security devices" installed on the PCs. When I asked him what he meant, he replied with what has become the benchmark for ludicrous IT requests.
"Well, I was typing stuff, and I think I might have typed in something I wasn't supposed to, because all this blue dye started spilling from my keyboard"
I was crippled with inward laughter while trying to keep a poker face and could only reply "no"....obviously his pen had broken, and to this day I'm still amazed at such a cretinous level of moronism, but kind of flattered that he'd reach that conclusion and think I had something to do with it.
