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?

You wonder how they survive.....I work for a large computer company, in order not to give away their identity I'll just give you their initials: IBM. Our dept sells parts to companies and the general public for lap tops etc. My personal favourite:
me: part sales, can i help
her: yes, i need a battery
me: ok, do you have the part number?
her: NO
me: ok, what model or range is it for?
her: a ford fiesta
me: I'm sorry?
her: A FORD FIESTA!!
me: right, we only sell parts for computers,I think you need the RAC or someone like that.
her: fine, well put me through to the RAC
me: (again) I'm sorry?
her: put me through to th RAC and I'll talk to them
me: we're nothing to do with them, you'd need to find a number for them
her: this is ridiculous!
me: (you're telling me!) perhaps if you try yellow pages
her: well I'll have to now won't I! *click*
I'm still trying to work out how it was my fault!
