A horror story I have is when the boss during the interview kept interrupting me. I couldn't even finish a sentence without him cutting in. It made it really hard for me to get my points across. I think it showed his lack of respect for others' opinions and communication. Needless to say, I didn't pursue the job any further.

We had to evacuate and by the time we got back, the whole mood was ruined and I didn't get the job.
