When I was doing computer based training, I had one project that was a semi 
nightmare. We had been going back and forth for a week with our client about 
button placement. She said the buttons were too far over in one direction. One 
day she came to our office with her (even for then) antique laptop. This person 
then brought up the app and a ruler. She put the ruler on top of the screen and 
said she wanted the buttons over by "2 pixels."

The thumping I heard in the background was our designer hitting her head on the 
desk.

Since then any semi-outrageous stupid request has been known as a 2 pixel 
request.
