I don't own the site. I wish I did. Absolutely hilarious, especially if you've ever had to deal with clients.
QuoteCLIENT: "I don't mean to sound racist, but..."
ME: "But what?"
CLIENT: "But the site is too black."
ME: "Like, literally too black?"
CLIENT: "Yes. The background is too black."
ME: "That's not racist. That has nothing to do with race."
CLIENT: "Phew. I can never tell with you black people, what's offensive and what's not."
ME: "I'm actually Lebanese. And, yeah, that one might be a bit racist."

yeah the page has mileage in it, those are some good stories.
not quite a client but i replied to my colleague's "hi" on skype with "bj" once, and I didn't even say please. It was most surely a typo though.
i feel sorry for the folks who wrote those stories, it sounds like they're working against the tide with those clients.
I would guess that the vast majority of those are fictional. Too many of them read like classic setup -> punchline structure.
@Ergophobe: I think that one in particular is a reworking of a conversation between Troy and Pierce (Chevy Chase) in the sitcom Community.
