---- Ridiculous things said during job interviews

This one had seemed qualified, but we passed:
"You might as well know that I am not one of those rah, rah team people. I won't be expected to socialize with the rest of the staff, will I?" Just scary odd.

And a different person:
"Funny you should mention that! The judge said exactly the same thing this morning," The judge? "Yes, I had to see the judge this morning - I violated my probation again."

And we get lots of resumes where the cover page just ruins their chances. For example, if we advertised a receptionist position, we would get many of the following:

Objective: Attaining a position where I can utilize my people-management skills (or project management skills, or hair-cutting skills, or any other thing totally unrelated to the advertised opening)

It is also not the smartest thing for a woman to tell the interviewer that she hopes to start her family this year. While I would never discriminate, it is safe to assume telling them you plan to immediately leave on maternity is not appealing to the interviewer.

While I would never discriminate, would y'all agree it would be best to wait until you're done with the crutches and wincing in pain with every step rather than having to explain that you just had your third back surgery?
