Me: “Okay, let’s start from the beginning. Is your computer’s power cable plugged in?”
Client: “Yes.”
Me: “What is it plugged in to?”
Client: “The power strip.”
Me: “Is the power strip on?”
Client: “Yes. It is in the on position, but no lights are lit up.”

Back story: this was a redesign to add a product directory to a magazine website.
Client: ”I want you to bury all the links for the magazine at the bottom of the page.”
Me: “Wait, you don’t want them in the nav bar? At all?”

Me: ”What happens if someone comes to the site to subscribe to the magazine?”
Client: “Fuck ‘em.”

Hilarity!
