I hate the ones where the client buys a machine from you two or three years ago and then wonders why it won't play Quake III at 60fps, or why the 32 meg of memory that cost him $100 then only costs $30 now.
Then there are those people who bring you a whole bunch of old crappy parts and say add a hard drive and memory, I want to sell this to somebody. IF I do it, I make sure they know there are absolutely no warranties. They still wonder if I am going to replace the 28.8 modem they gave me to use when it does not work as fast as their other 56K.
Oh, well. Such is the life of a tech.

I just hung up from another great one!
Customer: This is so and so from blah and blah Law Offices. I need somebody to come down and load a program on two more of my machines.
Me: What program is that sir?
Customer: Excel
Me: How many copies do you have?
Customer: Just one.
Me: Sorry sir, but I cannot legally load the same program on two machines.
Customer: But you did it before. When I bought the computer from you, you installed Excel on it.
Me: Just on that computer sir, I cannot legally load it on more than that one machine.
Customer: You did it before!
Me: Only on that one computer sir, you are a lawyer, please read the license agreement that came with Excel, I'm sure you'll understand it
Customer: Nevermind you #%^!#@@ !!.....click
Me: Sigh

You gotta love the people who insist on buying the cheapest system we offer (fine by me...it's a Smelleron 633, not too bad for a small office, or something). Then, they go and bitch because they can't get such'n'such a game working. Turns out they have the resolution set to something god-aweful, like 1600x1200 at 32bpp running at the highest detail settings and whinning that the computer we sold is too slow, and a piece o' crap.
