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?

Not quite...
...I had a client who asked why we didn't deliver the offsite backups of his website to his office (because we deliver them to your bank, like you asked, you muppet...)

But the best was the woman who rang a wrong number. Think snooty, and getting snootier by the second (her, not me):
Her: Hello, is that the Yorkshire Evening Press?
Me: I'm sorry, I think you've got the wrong number.
Her: Can you put me through to the classified advertisements section?
Me: I'm very sorry, but this isn't the paper, it's a private house.
Her: Now stop being silly and put me through to the advertising desk.
Me: I think you've got the wrong number.
Her: I'm going to speak to your editor and have you sacked!
Me: Good luck (*click*)
