Great (but clueless) client. I went to a meeting with the client to discuss a way forward for his website revamp. First off he showed me his idea, which was a visual of the Windows desktop, with folders for different sections of the website, click on a folder and it opens revealing the different website pages. It went on basically describing how windows works. When he'd finished I said, with a cheeky smile, "that must be one of the fucking shityest ideas I've ever heard". We both started laughing.

    You're laughing, but around 1995 I was actually told to create just such a system as a "graphical menu" for our new GUI application....

    (And No, the Project Manager never listened to my objections).

    I had a very similar request when I was a senior in college. Client wanted a desktop looking web application. Icons, folders, etc... Needless to say, that never happened.
