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?

i work in IT support for a newspaper
and have come to look at journalists in a whole new light. many stories, but my favourite is the guy who rang down in a panic, as he needed to save something onto floppy to take out the office, but kept getting a message saying the drive was inaccessible. it didn't sound like he was doing anything wrong, so i went up to his desk to have a look. i watched him try to save the file, saw the error message appear, then happened to notice a floppy disk sitting on his desk.
me: 'is this the disk you're trying to save to? it should probably be in the drive.'
journo: 'oh shit. please don't tell anyone about this.'
