Worst Interview

Just wondering how bad airline interviews can get:

What's the worst pilot interview experience you ever had?

This one is in no way aviation related (it was for a job designing production line conveyor belts), but my interviewer had a pile bust and was bleeding profusely from his arse. I had to rush round the factory to find the designated first aider come and stem the flow - rather him than me!

My worst interview was for my first real job (non-aviation) after leaving school. The interview went badly, nevertheless, I still got the job. However, I later learnt that only 2 of us were interviewed. During his interview, my competitor repeatedly kept on leaning back his chair on it's rear legs, despite being asked not to, until they snapped off!

The bad bit was the job after accepting it. It was cr@p and I left after 3 months.
