This is a question 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?

Bitter lemon and Driving tests
Having worked in a bar I can say that the 'Bitter Lemon/ bit of lemon' thing was a common Double Check question - in a loud pub it is quite difficult to hear what people say... there were many other examples but the barrier of time and alckyhol has made me forget. My point is, when bar staff ask you again what you want, it's not always because they are stupid, mostly because they are deaf.(due to massive 'BOMM BOOM BOOM type music.') And don't want to watermelon up your order coz they'll have to pay for it

Anyway. The first time I did my theory drving test I finished it alot quicker than anyone had any right to. For 20 minutes I sat there watching the arrow icon follow my finger around (It was a touchscreen affair) It was quite cool at the time, I never had seen such technology. Needless to say I failed.
A couple of months later I went in to do my Theory test again. Before I went in they warned me not to touch the screen for too long, because 'some idiot sat there playing with the monitor and broke it' I looked up and saw, on the wall, a sheet of paper documenting all the problems they'd had with this particular computer, which, you guessed it, dated from the computer I used the last time I took my test. Needless to say, this time I passed.
