Shop returns
I used to work for Payless, the DIY shop. One day a bloke came in with a tin of paint he wanted to return and I said that unfortunately we couldn't exchange it. Before I could say why, he really went off on one about bad shop service, that he'd only opened it to check the colour, and how we had to change it under various laws.
When he finally stopped, I pointed out that the paint was 'B&Q' brand, and we were Payless, so we couldn't put it on the shelf. He'd come to our shop rather than the B&Q across town. He got very embarrassed, then tried to leave the shop through the one-way doors from the entrance, bouncing off them. Ponce.

Website whizzy-ness
I 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.
