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?

Other stupid peopleI was discussing user requirements for an online form with a programmer from another team in our IT dept. I was laughing about the fact that our marketing team want to reject forms that are submitted with fake names (i.e. Don Johnson with an address in Miami or Dot Cotton, Albert Square). Thinking I was sharing a wry observation with her I expected her to laugh, but she looked confused: 'Can we not do that then?'...far be it from me to explain to her that we would need a database of every fictional character ever created.
I should say that they also wanted us to reject forms with names of famous people - because they must be joke ones, right?
