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 is a QotW answer ok...
so we are transposing a video to flash for the interweb, click a button it jumps to a certain frame , plays a bit then stops - you get the idea...

the client, says, "yeah its good - but could you just...."

several "could you justs" later we are gettin kind of miffed...

we explain to client, look its objects on a white background, frame grabs from YOUR video, we cant add a background in (technically - yes we can - i know) it would cost you a fortune in photoshop time - there are 750 frames of video...

"oh..." says the client, "i haven't seen the video..."

BUT ITS YOUR VIDEO!

sound of head hitting desk.
