Not my own story, but a really good one nonetheless
A good friend of mine from graduate school was interviewing for her first professorial position. One of the interviewers... brought her dog. Apparently it sat on the table throughout the entire questioning period.
My friend spent a lot of time wondering whether she should pretend the dog didn't exist, or whether she should acknowledge it (therefore possibly alienating the other interviewers). I forget which she ended up doing -- probably ignoring it, if I know her -- and she got the job. She's still teaching at that university actually. So's the woman with the dog.
