This happens to me at least once a week:

Me: I don't have access to the password for your email address. You'll have to talk to your mail administrator.
Them: But I AM the mail administrator!

Ugh. Although I had a great laugh at one customer who wrote a long and descriptive totaly rude letter about how crappy the incomming mail server was and how we were incopetatnt bastards who couldn't even get email right.

Dig mx showed us that he ran his own mail server :)

watching the system admin shouting at his screen "BUT I AM THE FUCKING ADMINISTRAOR" as windows gave him yet another bloody error.

Frequently I'd get this call while working at Dell:

THEM: Such and such is wrong on this computer.
ME: *runs tests* Well, that's a problem with the local network; you're going to have to talk to your network administrator.
THEM: But I AM the network administrator! I make eighty thousand dollars a year! Tell me how to fix this!
ME: I make less than twenty thousand a year. Go away.

Of course I wasn't allowed to say that last line.
