Less than a year into the industry - we were a bunch of kids handling a not-so-easy project, and we were told to hire some experienced people. So we started interviewing. One of the candidates was very experienced and she got annoyed because we asked her "very simple, beginner, kid level" questions. And she cut the interview short and left. We felt bad for her (we were never disrespectful, we just asked questions to the best of our ability. It didn't help that we were just fresh college grads with no real world experience). It is kinda funny if I think about it now. Edit: Another one, not personal, but happened in a place I worked The sysadmin team was hiring. The candidate walks in, lists the names of all the servers we had and a whole bunch of other details that only our sysadmins were supposed to know. The candidate had hacked into our network and had leisurely browsed around and made detailed notes. He was hired on the spot and his first task was to plug all the holes that he had used to get into our network.
