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?

Spreadsheet Confusion
I once had a user call and tell me that a spreadsheet model I'd designed wasn't working.

The error message on screen did in fact tell him precisely what to do but he called anyway.

I told him that he needed to to put an "N" in column B, to which he asked "Where's column B?"

I couldn't help but reply "Well, it's in between column A and column C."

(I also once had someone ring me to ask why the Auto Sum button wasn't averaging the data - erm, because it's an Auto SUM you divvy!!)
