I can imagine it would have been upsetting but in time I'm sure you'll
grow jaded. Since we're sharing stories, my last interviewer seemed
eager to think I was an idiot (rightly or wrongly) and I couldn't
summon the motivation to talk him out it. He asked if I know what
reading and writing to a database means, and I asked if that was what
he was asking me, and rather than answering he just moved on. When it
got to the point of him saying that a person who knows absolutely
nothing about databases might not be a good fit for the job, I told
him I won't get my hopes up, thanked him for the interview, and wished
all the best to him and the company.

"What does reading and writing to a database mean?" "I suppose you could think of them as opposites...For example, most humans push waste out from their bottom end. But for you, it comes out of your mouth with relative ease."
