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?

I liked...
When i worked at HMV, A man once asked me what Steven Seagal DVDs we had. He ended up not only buying every Steven Seagal DVD we had, but also ordered every one we could possibly order! It made me laugh, i spent two hours helping him find them all and order them, i never felt so proud.

Also... Congratulations to every idiot that had the following conversation with me

ME: Hello, can i help you?
Them: Yeah, have you got the new lord of the rings film on DVD?
Me: Sure, we have The Two Towers on DVD, 4 dvd set and 5 dvd set...
Them: No i want the new one.
Me: Uh,, that is the new one?
Them: No, the new one!
Me: *Confused*... uh... The Return of the King?
Them: Yeah that one.
Me: Well it's not actually been released in the cinema yet.
Them: So you haven't got it in yet?
Me: No.
Them: Will you have any in soon?
Me: About six months.

At this point most of the customers accepted this fact, one person actually asked to see the manager about it because they didn't believe me, and one person walked off in a very loud huff complaining about the customer service!! What do they want? I nearly said...

Me:The new one? Yes!! I've got fourty illegal copies shipped in from Hong Kong today! I can sell you a copy but i'd have to give your information to the police if i sold u one.

Idiots. All of them.
