I had an interview once where I successfully dodged the question asking how much I wanted, so the interviewer moved on to his next logical question: how much are you making right now? I refused to answer that one as well, and he got completely flustered, finally saying "If I don't know how much you're making right now, how do I figure out what to offer you?" When I wouldn't give that up, he decided that in order to figure out what I'm worth, he needed to know if I was married or had kids, since "people without a family seem to stay later and work harder." At that point, I gave up and walked out.
Not surprisingly, when I spoke to my recruiter after the fact, she admitted that he had been unprofessional in other interviews as well, but sent me on the interview anyway. Lesson #542 on why never to work with recruiters.
