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?

Well....
..this was a few years back now while i was running a small bike hire buisness as a summer job, and i had to explain to people where they could and couldn't go... and this was simple stay on the road don't go on the car park and they could go only so far one way..... and this is where she came in...when i told her she could only go as far as the theater on the right, which i described to her, and she really had no excuse as to not knowing where it was as
1. it was the only building on the right
2. it is the only cone shaped building
3. in big letters it said theater
4. i was pointing to it, and she could see it.
but still nothing clicked in her head, so comence argument on the building being there, me makeing the building up and me hinting she was stupid (actually i told her she was old stupid and blind, i was quite annoyed by then)
so after about ten minutes of this i gave up offered her a refund yet she demanded she still went out, huh? well she returned ten minutes later argued again that she couldn't cycle up a hill, and i slowly told her she went past where i told her not to go (the big watermelon off cone shapped theater), well i ended up shouting at her telling her she couldn't cycle up the hill cos she was old, fat and stupid (mean yes but you have no idea how thick she was) and then i refused to give her back her deposit (yay) as she had gone where she wern't ment to, annoyed me and put off customers but to be honest i would have rather not met her than had £10 in my pocket..tho it did by a few pints and pies...and on that note i have pints and pies to consume...
