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?

My ex-client(wife) used to ring me at work with all life's little problems. In the open-plan office my desk became known as 'the Help desk'.
Exhibit 1:
Her: Help, the kettle is broken.
Me: Is it plugged in?
Her: (small voice) ....oh.
Exhibit 2:
Her: Help, the car is stuck, and I can't get it out of the driveway.
Me: What do you mean, "stuck"?
Her: On the gatepost.
We had a driveway that you could have put the damn car in sideways. She had jammed it against the gatepost whilst reversing out (I left the scar on the car for months). She didn't realise that if she drove forward she could straighten-up and reverse out again. I had to leave work to do it for her.
