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?

Website whizzy-nessI built a website a few years back for a local pub chain. It got the usual feature-creep from a nice simple site to one that they insisted on having lots of complicated roll-overs and stuff in Javascript. I explained if I did what they wanted it would only work in Internet Explorer on PCs, because they weren't paying enough to code it for everything. They insisted that was fine, because that was what most people wanted. Just before launch they buy an iMac and start moaning that the page doesn't work properly.
Now when someone insists on that, I just won't work for them any more. It's just not worth the hassle.
