One interview I had back in 2001 really stands out for me..

Interviewer: Why do you want to work here?
Me: I'm interested in mobile development
Interviewer: No you're not
Me: Huh?
Interviewer: You're only saying that because you know that's what we do
Me: No, I've worked on PalmOS and WindowsCE apps in my spare time..
Interviewer: No you haven't, you're just saying that because you want a job here
Me: Not now I don't..

I'd released apps for PalmOS beforehand, one gaining over 100,000 total downloads which was pretty good for a time without app stores as such.

Weird how some people just seem to be on the offensive in interviews from the get go. I can only imagine how much talent these guys lose businesses over the years.
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
