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?

Erm, no!I do visuals at event - u know when you see crazy shit on big screens. Here's a short selection of the best client / punter quotes:
X: Can I check my email
Me: No, im doing video at the moment
X: Can I use the computer to check me emails tho?
Me: No, im performing....
X: Oh, go on, i've got some good pictures
Me: No, firstly im performing, secondly that's not a computer, it's a DVD player.
X: Oh, can I check my email then?
X: Can you play that footage from Ben Hur with the chariots
Me: Im afraid i don't have that, and i tend not to sample
X: I've got I at home, on DVD
Me: That's nice but I havent and Im in the middle of the set
X: Shall I go and get it?
Me: If you wan't but i won't play it, it wont fit in with this stuff
X: Ok, i'll bring it down for you to use tomoro
This was at a large ONE day event!
X: Can you change the music please
Me: I do the video, go speak to the guy with the records
X: Oh, the DJ
Me: Yep, that's the one
X: Can you play ATB
Me: Im not doing the music!
X: Sorry, I can't hear you, can you turn the music down a bit!
Hmm, bit worring really, cos two of the quotes are from the people who paid me to be there!
