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The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

From what I understand of the US academic recruitment process,
it's nuts.

I mean, I can see the point of giving a sample lecture (though do any students actually turn up?); but the whole several-days-and-several-interviews thing seems horrific. As do the Smoker sessions at the APA. Ewwwww.
