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?

Ooh, haven't posted on b3ta for ages
I was working for a company which made healthcare equipment when the phone went. I answered it.
"Hello?" they said. "Can I speak to the person in charge of assembly?"
"That would be me, how can I help you?"
"Well, I need to speak to someone who knows things about how your products are made."
"I'm in charge of that area; what do you need to know?"
"No, I really need to speak to someone..." etc.
They flatly refused to believe that anyone other than a secretary could have picked up the phone. Shame our company only employed about 7 people and I reported straight to the MD/CEO/owner, really.
