Holy crap. After two solid days of interviewing people, I've got a couple of things to say...

Don't bother taking a shower before coming in. We prefer Eau du Naturale.
When we ask for your worst customer contact, make sure to tell us about how you hung up on a customer or told him/her to fsck off.
Babble. Lots. We don't have anything else to do but listen to your life story.
Tell us how you got into IT so you could work from home. You really have no interest in working in a company.
Call anything IT related crap. We love to hear how our chosen profession is crap.
Look at everything but our eyes. We hate eye contact.
Make sure your resume is a stock Word template and has lots of spelling errors. Examples: Spell Peregrine "Peregrinine" and spell Education "Educattion". Spell check is for losers.
Only come in if you have zero technical experience and zero customer service experience. We like a challenge.
Offer sex. (This isn't a joke. We had one today...:Q)

That's it off the top of my head. I'm off to dinner at The Swan. :D

Add another one to your list:

When asked to solve a problem during problem solving session tell the interviewer that the problem is stupid and refuse to provide a solution. When asked to explain, say that you will never encounter a problem like that in real life and there you shouldn't be asked to solve for it.

This is a real story as well.

LOL, I have to ask... was it a guy?

Nope. She was pretty cute too... I suggested opening a position: Office Bicycle

:D

what if you said yes, and she pulled out a strap-on? And said, I hope you're not a screamer.
