re: Unusual Things You Heard People Say During A Job Interview?

We were interviewing for a position that would be solely online work. That part of the job was made clear in the position title and the description posted in the announcement.
This nerdy guy comes in and the lady next to me slips me a note that she knows him because he sells shoes at Belk (turns out, that was a second job for him). The job listed on his resume was an adjunct position at the local JuCo.
I asked him what he thought about working online. He responded: "Oh, gosh, I hate that." Thinking that he may have misheard the question, I asked again. "No, I heard you the first time. I hate it."

You're part of the Hunt family?

If this is true, this should have been your response:
"I'll be sure to tell my black wife."
I wish I’d had a whitty comeback (I’m Jewish), but I was just too shocked to say anything. When I walked out of the interview and got to my car, my first thoughts were “Did that just happen...?”
The best part of that exchange in the interview was the other partner in the interview turned to him and said in her kindly old lady voice “Oh, you shouldn’t say stuff like that, they’ll put you on a list.”

Another guy asked the other interviewer if she recognized him. She appologized and said no. He went on to say he sees her dropping her kids off at XYZ school and she drives the gray Lexus and went into EXTEME detail describing her kids. It made us both uncomfortable as hell.
It's weird he didn't know the social norms and stop after she didn't recognized him. With that said, I'm one of those people that observe things and remember shite like that. I know all the kids' names that are in daycare with my kids and I recognize their parents/cars even though I don't know their names if we are on similar schedules. There are many other parents that don't know me but address my kids by their names when we are walking in/out of daycare. I actually like that fact that we all know each other b/c it makes me feel a little safer about some random bastard snatching a kid. However, my wife would be like the other interviewer in your story. She could bump into the same person 25 times before remembering them.

Interviewed a dude with an imperial storm trooper logo on his resume and a Star Wars esque email. Was an odd one.

Eh, some of them are still working.
My shop currently uses VB.Net but was a COBOL shop when I was brought in to help with the transition about 15 years ago. The old folks who did a lot of actual COBOL programming are heading off into the sunset now but are still alive and kicking if they get a big enough paycheck to leave.

Ever consider it was all just a test? Lots of people like to sweat their candidates with crazy stuff.
I don't understand "testing" people in interviews. You don't have to play games to find a good candidate for a job. This guy was in risk of missing a flight. And then why make people write down all the information they have already provided? That's just being assholes.

Had a walk in a few years ago, he saw the job posting, manual labor position.
He fills out an application. Probably mid 30s white guy, tweaker type body, no visible tattoos..
I go over the application with him, talk about the job and then I glance at the email..
doobie420@gmail.com.
I hired him, frick it.

Too soon to tell a lame "joke"? No...

As opposed to your lame arse posting the same threads over and over?

One guy asked how my wife’s knee was doing, guess he checked out her FB somehow and saw she had knee surgery like 4 months prior.
I had a female applicant do this prior to Facebook and Linkedin. She did some heavy detective work and wanted to talk about my hobbies.
Bye.
