angry client on the phone: the phone numbers for 3 of our offices changed
months ago and you have't updated our website  [ other angry
noises]
me: oh, dear. When did you tell us about this?
angry client: I didn't
me: ok [!]
angry client: any way, I've decided to change my supplier. The new guy is
here - please give him the passwords
me: ok here is the user id, password and ip address. just ftp the new
site to the publichtml directory
new supplier[sounds like a kiddie, trying to act all serious and
grownup]: which ftp , cute_ftp or , ws_ftp
me : hahahahaha. bye!
I reckon they deserve each other. The site has now been under
construction ever since then!

I went through this myself for a
few months at the end of last year.
I almost exploded on one occasion when I was accused of being
incompetent
and a few other things verging on the libellous.  The client then
realised
that they'd loused up.....:-)
It was with great pleasure that I handed over teh site maintenance
to
soemone else in early January, and with any luck I might even offload
the
hosting side of things soon as well...:-)
