I had an interview recently where the principal got angry when I told her my current salary. Her response was that at her school it would be a lot less and why on Earth would any school pay me that much. She then asked me what other perks I have and I told her private health insurance and housing. She responded with a very loud scream, and continued a diatribe that no school in world offers such a package and that she did not like speaking to liars. :shock: She hung up on me. The interview, of course, finished.
It was a very discouraging interview, to say the least.
Has anyone ever had a very bad interview?

Bad interview, great story.
I haven't had anything like that, but I did once interview with a very egotistical man in a large noisy room. He would ask a question and then look around the room, clearly not paying attention to my answers. I began giving him really dumb answers. The interview peaked when he asked me if I could provide a metaphor for how I differentiate...
When I stood up to leave, he said that I would likely return to my home city and tell my friends about the douchebag from ___________ that interviewed me. I nodded in agreement, did not shake his hand, and left.

My guess
Escapeartist- My guess would be Phil Joslin in Argentina. That guy is an absolute buffoon.

Just wow!
Escaleartist very funny.
I had an interview once where the lady was clearly not interested in me from the onset. She told me about school didn't ask me one question about myself and after 5 minutes said ...do you have any questions? I sure don't that was that and we never heard from each other again. I will never apply there again.
