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?

Worlds shortest support call?I used to work for Microsoft UK doing developer support. one favorite call was:
Is there a function for getting the current directory?
Yes sir, it's called GetCurrentDirectory
what was pretty painful though was wandering through the windows support area with people trying to get customers to edit their windows system.ini files using only edlin, over the phone. edlin isnt notepad. its a god damn awful line editor that makes vi seem user friendly.
i just checked my xp pro system and bizarrely they still ship edlin with it. why? i can't beleive anybody still uses it
