Potential customer: I'd like to make a website for this project. It has to contain text and some images, biographies, some news, and some videos.
Me: cool
P.c.: Do you do HTML5?
...

(Maybe this needs to be put in perspective to have any sense; the guy was a sort of "artist" who didn't know much about websites and such, and these things transpired during our earlier conversation. It is obvious he heard about is somewhere but don't really understand what it is, and he is just making sure that he is getting "the latest technolgoies" on his website. I've got this a couple of times really. With those who are serious, I take the time to explain that HTML5 is a set of advanced technologies we most probalby would not need, and that I will use any of them when needed, and what they probably mean by "HTML5" is just HTML as opposed to Flash - there are a bunch of people going around, using the term HTML5 when this is what they really mean.)

My friend after he saw my wireless headphone : هاي على الانترنت ؟

I stayed silent for couple of seconds and changed the subject

These are all hilarious because obviously everyone is expected to know everything about everything when it comes to electronics!

I don't like to mock people for what they know or don't know, but I will mock them for their bad intentions. There are always people contacting me saying "Hi, we got your number from X, (s)he says you're a good technician. How much does it cost to hack facebook?".

Or when someone says that "his friend" has a dvd that can hack facebook *EPIC FACEPALM*

Unfortunately, one of those of people is my very own sister. And all her friends. I believe that if you're that set on hacking into someone's social networking account just so you can read or post or delete something, then you probably have way, way too much free time.

It gets even worse sometimes. A friend of mine and I had a little argument last night because he wanted to see if his girlfriend was cheating on him, and was upset that I didn't do it. He is convinced that I can do but don't want to. Now, yes, I don't want to, but I also CAN'T do it.
