This is a question Clients Are Stupid

I 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?

This happened today.
I work in the computer games industry, being a third-party QA technician (that's a play tester, only more proffesional :p). We communicate with our clients (the games developers) via an online bug database, within which we have perfected the art of below-radar sarcasm. Today we entered a bug along the lines of "no sound when boss 3 destroyed"

Sure enough a fairly typical response arrived "This might be our game spec" (game spec = supposed to happen).

Well what was I supposed to do? I replied.

"We might close this bug then"
