You can be prepared for almost anything to happen at your job interview… Almost anything.

Whether you're 16 or 61, interviewing for a job can be nerve-wracking. It helps to prepare beforehand by studying up on the company's history and rereading the job listing to make sure you can answer every question in the best possible way. After all, the more confident you feel about your skillset going into the job interview, the better you'll perform.

Some companies like to throw you off by asking really random questions or having you meet a bunch of different people. Other businesses like to have group interviews to ~~annoy the interviewees~~ see how their candidates work with others and manage to stand out in a crowd. There are all the usual questions like "What was a time you worked collaboratively to solve a problem?" or "What are your strengths and weaknesses?"

There's nothing in the world that could've prepared this dude for the weirdest interview of his life. You can check out his entire story below. In the comments section, people were surprisingly divided about his reactions. Some people sided with the interview candidate who had to deal with a humiliating situation. Others chided the guy for not being easy-going.

Next up, this couple broadcast their text messages on social media only to immediately get roasted for being entitled.
