“The moment I realized I was already recording...”
That reminds me of when my wife discovered the difference between “Reply” and “Reply All” in a family email, LOL.
I’ve had several cases where the interviewer had such stupid, irrelevant questions I withdrew the application.
Well, what was the question? Something about what kind of tree she would be, or who was her favorite character in The Wizard of Oz?
I'd hire her. She's not wrong.
I saw a pretty funny meme that I didn’t save the other day:
Interviewer: What’s you greatest weakness?
Interviewee: I would say my weakness is honesty.
Interviewer: I don’t think honesty is a weakness.
Interviewee: I don’t give a $%^$ what you think.
She’s young and beautiful. She’ll snatch herself a rich husband. No worries.
It's scripted and professionally acted, but hilarious.

Remember, if they ask you what your greatest weakness is,
you answer “chocolate”.
It’s you’re not your
Then of course if you’re tired of boiling water for pasta every time, just boil up a gallon of water and freeze it. Then it’d be ready the next time you need it for pasta.

During the interview with the owner, I confused her name (she uses her son's name on emails, and I went by that).
To tell you the truth, I think they zeroed in on me from my resume, 30+ years of tax and accounting work.
The following week I did a sit down interview with their CPA. His first remarks were "you're WAY overqualified for this position." I chuckled I agreed, but told him I'm not looking to be in charge of anyone.
I was hired the next day, and became their oldest employee by 10 years. It's a great fit, the younger employees run circles around me on current technology, but when it comes to dealing with the state and federal bureaucracies, I know exactly where to look, or who to talk to.
Maybe she wanted to sue them, like that football coach that says his skin color is keeping him from getting a job.
Lame people make lame excuses.
I’ll have to admit that I’m not the right person to comment on this. I’ve had only job interview in my life and continue to work for the guy who interviewed me. It was in February of 1966.

Many years ago I was in an interview years ago and was on the 2nd round. That was with a VP, who’d happened to have flown in that day for other stuff, and decided to interview me. I can’t remember exactly what the question was, but it was most likely really general, like “why should we hire you?”. My answer was “Well, I’m one of the laziest people you’ll probably ever meet.”
Dead silence followed, and I continued, “You see, I want computers to work for me, not the other way around, so I’m willing to invest time, thought and energy in any automation I can so that everything runs as smoothly as possible with as little additional babysitting from me as I can manage.”
It was a systems manager position, and I ended up working there for more than a decade. It was a fun gig because I really enjoyed the folks I worked with.
