I was the interviewer, but I interviewed a woman for a ChemE job. All was going ok, but I asked her the "Tell me about a time you had to work with someone difficult". She told me about her professor and how he was arrogant and wanted to pop that inflated head of his.

When I interviewed for my first job out of law school, I was selected for the job by the brokerage's general counsel but one of the partners wanted to meet me first. When I got to his office the secretary told me he was expecting me and to go on in.

When I opened the door, the partner was cutting a line of coke on his desk. He introduced himself and offered me a seat and we both sat down and he started talking to me about the brokerage history and company philosophy and other mundane interview crap but while he spoke he cut three more lines of coke. Then he nonchalantly snorted one, then another, then another. Up to that point, I had been playing it off as though it was no big deal, but now he had left the last line and I was worried he was going to offer it to me.

Well, he didn't. The interview ended and I was sent back to the general counsel's office. When I got there, he asked me how it went. I said it was...interesting. At that he rolled his eyes and simply asked "coke or hooker". I told him coke and he said I was lucky. He didn't elaborate on the hooker scenario, but I found out later that the partner once did the same thing with another interviewee except instead of coke, he had a hooker under his desk giving him a beej. It was his sick way of getting people uncomfortable and seeing how they dealt with it.

I took the job.

I was applying for a film production job at a small commercial studio in Dallas. It seems the the language used on sets and in the editing rooms can get quite 'explicit'. One of the questions the manager asked me was, "How are you with profanity?" My response was, "I think I'm pretty good at it."
I got the job.

You should read the book straight to hell. Your story would fit perfectly in that book.
