Told a potential employer that what he was looking for did not exist.

We basically got into an argument. it was very unprofessional. When it was over I asked, "what point should I stop expecting a phone call?" He said 2 weeks.

But I stood up, thanked him, and shook his hand.

He was a total douche, bug I was not going to be "that guy" who lost it in an interview. Or showed his arse. EVERYBODY remembers that guy. And you may run into people down the road who remember it.

This happens OFTEN in my line of work. And while I've never said it outright during an interview, I have had a lengthy phone interview with a film production company who pretty much realized it on their own by the time the interview was ending.

They wanted someone to come in and use magical branding powers to make them the #1 film production company in the damn country.. but they wanted to pay no more than $25k. And they refused anyone who didn't have a 2-inch thick portfolio with proof of years of success. Yeah, good luck with that buddy.

It's common in this line of work because a lot of people look at marketing as a luxury instead of a necessity, so they can't fathom forking over decent money for it.
