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?

I once worked at a paging service.People would call to leave messages which I would type and send on...
...around 600 times a day.
People redirected their mobiles to this service (why did they have both a pager and a mobile phone?)
More often than not:
- Thank you for calling [company], can I take your message for John Smith?
- Hello John?
- No, this is Mr Smith's paging service. I can take a message and pass it on.
- Is John there?
- No, sir. This is...
- Where is he?
- I have no idea, I do not work with Mr Smith. This is...
- What are you doing with his phone, then?
- I don't have his phone, but I can leave him a message.
- Oh, this is a message service? I see... Tell him I rang so. *click*
My headset, phone and keyboard all had teethmarks.
