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?

Politicians ARE Stupid
For a while, I used to work in IT support in Parliament.

I worried me that most of the politicians that I used to talk to were (for the most part) completely stupid - lacking in any form of common sense what so ever:

MP: "Why can't my fax machine send anything?"
ME: "Is it plugged into the phone line?"
MP: "It has to be plugged into the phone line?"

or

MP: "I can't install the second disk of the remote access program"
ME: "Is the CD drive reading the disk properly?"
MP: "Hold on, I'll just take out both disks"
ME: "Both disks????"

Or the best one was a Lord asking how to get rid of the evidence of him visiting various websites he shouldn't have.
