Job Interview DisastersThe boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak. "Christ, what a craphole", I said. I think that's the moment I blew it. Tell us how you didn't get the job.

Not disasters but Directors of smaller firms seem to find these offensive."Yes, I checked out your accounts at Companies House and you would have to pay me weekly." He went mental.
or,
"I would have to see your last 3 months management accounts before I accept the generous offer."
Them, "Do you think about the box?" Me, "Do you know what is in the box?"
edit for idiocy - obviously earlier I was watching that bold as brass fox on the lawn and pondering whether it was going to say about my bins. They said, "Do you think OUT of the box?" - I hate that phrase and is often said by young people who do not know anything about the box nor its contents. Stupid people also insist on Brainstorming which invariably means going over the content of the box and finding a solution that was already in the box which they then insist is outside of it.
