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?

It's the lying I hate
When I started as a programmer I regularly did support as well, and quickly realised that when people had problems entering data the first question was 'Is your numlock on?'. I still regularly got reassurances that it was, only to find - lo and behold - that it wasn't and that this was the problem, only to be met almost every time with "well it was on, I don't know what happened. Oh it's fixed now? Thanks."
