    That one depends on the job. Some managers will love to exploit your inclination to hyper focus on solving problems and following the rules. They won't ask you to work unpaid after hours but if you want to they won't protest... Doing a third of the work for a team of six people? That's great, but your next performance review will include the criticism that you're not as social as your coworkers because you're too busy doing the job.

    Except that it's gambling. The jobs trigger my hyper focus, sure I'll do in a week a project meant for a month. But inversely, I can be incapable of even thinking about a task and make no progress for weeks.

    I mean, meds have made it better.

    Oh I did this one once! I interviewed for a job as a construction worker, and my first question was "what's the pay" and second "how the fuck do you expect anyone to say yes to that".

    They also had an apprentice working on a roof right next to us with absolutely no safety gear in sight.

    I had one guy I interviewed tell me, unprompted, that all the women in the company would definitely feel comfortable around him.

    Ok???

    It was a fast no thank you. So I guess I’d do that.

    A few years ago I'd have said a Nazi salute.

    But now I have to ask clarifying questions, like the location of the interview

    What the fuck?

    I think you need to clarify, because it sounds like you're saying that the only reason that people have a problem with Nazis is PC culture.

    and that you're saying people making a big deal about Nazis is a bad thing, people should either not care about Nazis or return to not doing anything about Nazis even if they cared?

    Keep in mind this is in the context of doing a full Nazi salute, which is pretty unambiguous.

    Is that really the hill you want to die on?

    This is a bot my guy. There are a few on Lemmy. They artificially drum up interaction with emotionally charged responses that don't say much. You could copy paste their comment to anything.

    Yes, but even in a deep blue city, I've personally seen trump signs... lunatics exist.

    Claiming all far-right account as "bots" underestimate how dangerous these extremists are.

    Of course, that user might be a bot. But not all of them are bots. And that's what's scary, the fact that these opinions are actually held by real people.

    I had to read that title a few times. As it potentially could be its own answer: offer a blowjob

    Remind me when i applied for a tech store chain.

    “We also mandate workers to recommend extra warranty to customers that ask for advice , how do you feel about this”

    “I always try to help people who come to me for advice the very best i can, i would need to see the details of this extended warranty but if i believe it would really serve the customer then of course i will recommend it”

    They laughed; i did not get the job.

    As the interviewer, also leave

    As soon as it begins, I'll put on that one rubber horse mask that's been a meme on and off for the last 20 or more years.

    That in itself might be enough.

    If not I may be forced to make horse noises. There's actually a sound that's called "blowing" I think is perfect for the situation, so I could technically "blow" the interview and still get the job if they're sufficiently unhinged.

    Were it not for the potential for criminal damage, I would also stand abruptly before making the noise and then, with suitable timing, violently kick the chair backwards.

    I think that could all fit nicely within 30 seconds.

    Or, you know, I could just tell them the truth that my mental state is incredibly fragile and the tiniest amount of work stress or office politics is going to be detrimental to both myself and the company in very short order and that I should not have been sent there in the first place... but where's the fun in that?

    Don't break eye contact during the entire interview and refuse to speak. Write all your answers on paper and slide them to the interviewer upside down.

    I'll pick up a chair and throw it out of the window, start screaming "fuck you!" at everyone in earshot, and then whip out my dick and start pissing all over the place.

    If they still hire me after that, I will work there until I retire.

    The brief was to fail the interview, not also get yourself a criminal record, but I suppose you could float this as a hypothetical in the interview itself and not actually carry it out for more interesting (and less destructive) results.

    I don't really see the issue with that one. Most of my staff have commitments outside of work that require them to take certain days off or start/finish late during parts of the year. As long as they advise these things in advance, you can just schedule around it.

    Also, if you have enough work on that you need more staff, even a part-timer still reduces the total workload on everyone else.

    As a European, this sounds like a rude and slightly exaggerated way of asking a normal question. A bad way to start, but probably not something that will get you kicked out of an interview in 30 seconds.
