This customer was complaining of a slipping clutch and the inability to change gear properly. He also asked whether he could get away with just a new sprocket.

That's ignorance, not idiocy.

Some people know very little about how their bike works mechanically.

I'm surprised he didn't just want the sproket flipped around so he could start bending the teeth the other way. :lol:

I like to have fun with customers like this ... I ask them something like
"When was the last time you changed the spark plug fluid?"

:twisted:
