Job Interview Disasters
The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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.

HoHoHo
I went for an interview for a post at Edinburgh Uni. As I was being shown round the department there was an outburst of hysterical laughter. The trouble was it was coming from my jacket pocket. For no reason whatever I had picked a jacket which held a joke shop novelty "Laughing Bag" - a small cotton bag containing an electronic laugh generator and which needed a mere breath on the switch to turn it on. I must have breathed. Huh, didn't want to be a medical photographer anyway . . .
