I think the interview went badly.
Interviewer: So nice to see you today!

Me: Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

In: What are your strong points?

Me: Epic!

In: I see.

Me: FUCK YEAH!!!!!1

In: Do you think you could do this job?

ME: WANT!

In: Do you get along well with others?

Me: Nice question, Sparky (rolls eyes)

In: Are you able to express yourself?

Me: Sometimes. When someone says something that I am too afraid to say myself, I stand there and applaud and roll my eyes, then I give them a thumbs up.

In: Locking.

3. Well, we got into a flame war, and I lost my head and forgot...
that it wasn't the internet, so I accidentally beat him with a rusty shovel.

10. Sounds like a Freeper
I'd rather bash one over the head than work for one.

9. Something I ACTUALLY did at an interview a few years ago.
Interviewer: So, it says on your resume that you attained the rank of Captain in the US Army.

Me: Yes.

Interviewer: Really? So, what did you do?

Me: I was Commanding Officer of an A-detachment in Special Forces.

Interviewer: So, did you learn to do anything besides kill people?

Me: (Sensing from the interviewer's hostile question that I'm not getting the job anyway) We're alone in this room. Do you REALLY feel comfortable asking me that?

16. That was a phenomenally clueless interviewer.
:wow:

By the time you became a Captain you were probably over-qualified for that person's job.

17. In retrospect, I wouldn't have been happy in that job anyway.
I'd've been surrounded by even bigger morons than is usually the case whereever I work. :evilgrin:

11. So I guess he didn't get to the "tell me about a time" questions?
Like, "Tell me about a time when you lit yourself on fire. How did you resolve this issue?"

14. Gas fumes are not combustible, so that has never happened to LeftyFingerPop,
whose personal fetish (I've heard) is smoking at gas stations. :hi:

15. LOL, I totally forgot about that, honest!
I was just making fun of the stupid questions interviewers ask, "Tell me about a time when you did not see eye to eye with management" blah blah blah. :rofl: I think that gas station story was when I first discovered Lefty...
