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?

Nothing like a bit of nepotismI used to do a bit of freelance web design. A little while ago my father asked if I could whip up a quick site for his small business, which I did, buying a domain using some spare webspace I had to host it.
Recently his business partner got back to me about updating the site (she had been on a beginners webdesign course and seemed to be feeling ambitious). After some discussion I advised her to get some better hosting to support databases and wotnot.
The next I heard was from my father, very pleased that his partner had "talked to an ISP that can transfer the website for only £100!"
"you're buying £100 of web space?"
"No we already have the space, that's how much it will cost for them to move the site to it"
After some boggling, I went and spent ten mintes on FTP, and called him back to say the job was done for free.
