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?

our managing director....
....who I guess is one of my clients, as I provide him with my IT skills.....anyway, he has just enough grasp of some technical terms to make him feel as though he knows everything about what I do.

On being told the Exchange (email) server had crashed horribly and would be down for the rest of the day until we fixed it :
"Can't you just copy the hard drive onto another computer?"

On being informed that it would cost £12000 to cable a new office :
"Can't we just take the existing cabling with us?"

I love my job.
