My personal favorite when applying for a job. After two phone interviews (the job as in a different country so no on-site interview) with Jeff I was told "Everything sounds great. I'll send you an offer by early next week and we can take it from there". Two weeks pass and I call Jeff, he's not there so I end up talking to Jeff's boss. Jeff's boss is very confused, and explains that while they had been talking about hiring someone they hadn't made any actual decisions to do so and even if they had been wanting to hire someone now, Jeff was no way in a position to make job offers to anyone.
