The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

The candidate warned him of the offensive nature of the joke and he assured the candidate that would be fine.
The lying piece of excreta ought to try to grow a brain before trying to speak to human beings.
I thank you though for reminding me that recruitment consultants ought generally to be treated the way you would a piece of dog shit on your shoe.

Possibly a tad harsh, but I get your point. I think he thought that "rude" might be tad risqué rather than the sheer level of jaw dropping awfulness that he actually got, but granted not his finest moment. I do know he's never used that interview question again though so at least he learned something.
Candidate is clearly an utter tool though. Even if encouraged, why would you say such a thing??
Recruitment also a shitty industry - agreed. Very glad I don't have to do it anymore!
Peace.
