I believe the story.
I’ve interviewed people for a professional job who have:

___ Shown up wearing flip flops (with dirty feet even)
___ Had multiple piercings
___ Have told me intimate details about their life
___ Have told me if I didn’t hire them they *could* file a discrimination lawsuit.
___ Have told me they will not work for a female boss.
___ Have reeked of cigarette smoke.
___ Have taken cell phone calls during the interview.
___ Have brought a young kid (and had it wait in the reception area where she asked the receptionist to watch him)
___ Have lied about having a degree.
___ The usual mispellings on resumes.

In addition, I know another person who took an interviewie to lunch who brought his own chopsticks to eat with (the person wasn’t Asian and it wasn’t an asian restuarant).

Best one I ever had was for a technical writing position. One lady in her resume said she was a “World class poof reader!”

I used to be in sales, so thankfully I know how to interview.

The best one was where I mentioned I had forgotten something, pulled out the cell phone, and turned it off. The interviewer mentioned the previous person they interviewed not only had the phone go off, they also took the call in the middle of the interview.

I got the job.
