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?

Local government bafoonsI used to work for a local government agency in West Yorkshire as IT support. One day I received a support call from a woman in a branch office who was in a blind panic.
She was babbling on about viruses and urgent warnings on her screen telling her to stop working imediately and how her data was at risk blah blah blah.
Anyway, after getting little/no sense out of her I dropped what I was doing and drove the 20 or so miles over to the branch office to take a look.
One look at her screen showed the problem, it was one of those buggering internet banner adverts posing as security warnings advising you to buy some piece of crap software you dont need to protect your pc.
I pointed out that this was just an advert, oh, and that she shouldnt be surfing the web during office hours.
