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?

In my first real office job...My first manager used Excel to document the departments monthly usage statistics (e-mail use, back in 1994, when e-mail was bleeding edge technology for businesses).
Every month, he used a pocket calculator to add the numbers up, before he typed the total in.
One month I showed him how to use the 'sum' button in Excel.
Next month, I caught him using the pocket calculator again, and overtyping the correct auto-calculated answer.
I think that event has had an impact on my entire career... I've never taken anybody's abilities for granted... and never been disappointed.
