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?

Mrs Stickers and Mr FriendlyI used to work in popular high street retailers set up by Mr William Henry Smith. 2 examples of strange clients-
1. Mrs Stickers. Used to come in EVERY Saturday, same time, same till- me on it. Would ask for either a random number of packets of football/lord of the rings/etc stickers (like, "73 please") or just ask for whole boxes. She would go outside, open every single one, and then collect together all the swaps. She'd bring them back and complain she already had them and wanted a refund. Considering she bought hundreds a week, no wonder there were so many swaps. I never thought to ask if she needed any more books!
2. Mr Friendly. He used to come in every week, same time (just after Mrs Stickers) and be really friendly to everyone- but mainly talking about his coach he used to drive 30 years ago around london. He was like a character from the fast show. Not that stupid, but every week he would call you by a different name, even though you would wear a name badge. Or he would say "is phillip in today?" when there are no phillip's working there etc etc
