Being a freelancer for many, many years I have see a few crazy requirements (and crazy clients) in my time. One of the craziest and funniest projects to me was a client (who you have probably seen on TV many times) that wanted a task manager website with a kanban board (for chores) and push notifications (to remind the kids to feed the animals), running on a high-end wall mounted touch screen only locally within his home because "the kids" were not doing their chores and feeding their animals. I didn't feel bad at all taking his money on that project and still laugh about it every time it crosses my mind... Humans! :-)

I've heard of families doing this.
