Job interviews can be daunting. You know beforehand who is going to interview you, so normally you'd come in with some kind of prior research. But some folk are less… prepared. Usually, people make it a point to try to not insult the person who interviews them — AKA, their potential employer/boss. But alas, some are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Yes, you can find women in the manufacturing business. Shocker! You can also find them in construction, finance, agriculture, firefighting, and any other profession. Crazy, huh? This woman took to the r/IDoWorkHereLady subreddit to share her strange experience interviewing a young dude, who kept looking outside at another dude in shipping, asking who he was — to which she replied 'Chris'. 

He either had a serious crush on Chris, or he has a tendency to self-sabotage. He made it his mission to make sure he would not be accepted to the job by repeatedly asking when 'Chris' was going to interview him. He couldn't fathom why a woman was interviewing him in the industry. Way to make an interview awkward and not land yourself the job. Scroll down for a detailed account of what happened below.
