A former co-worker used to ask the question "how many gas stations are there in the US?" If the answer was "I don't know," he would not continue the interview until he bullied the candidate to guess.

Thanks, Brandon... I love the answers to the stupid questions. And, I suspect we have all been asked these questions at one time or another. Have a great day.

Oh, yeah, I've been asked the "name your weak point" question. I wonder if they ask it a) because they're idiots, or b) they want to see if you know "the answer" which is "Oh, my perfectionism! When I see something wrong with something, I want to fix it!"

 

Once a woman interviewing me for a secretarial job asked me, "Do you make sure to have other work with you to keep you busy while you're waiting for the copier to finish a photocopy job?"

 

No, seriously. She really asked that.

I think she used to work for me. Regularly take extra work to the copy area, then drop it all on the way back to her desk.
