Worst interview for me was when I was fresh out of college. Had applied for a state job and it was with the military. Got a letter for an interview and had called up to schedule one. Forgot to ask for the address where the interview was at.
Thought I was straight, its got to be on the envelope right.....Nope! Envelope took me to a base and the interview was somewhere completely different. I was like an 1:30 late since it was before smart phones with gps.
Had it been where I was actually staying at the time I would have not even went to it, but it was like an hour away so I said bump it, let me see if I can pull it off.
Got interviewed by two people, a woman and a man. I think dude was in the military himself, so you know he wasn't playing about being tardy. He basically had this face the entire interview ----->
So they asking me questions, and of course they ask what's your weakness. In my mind I'm like I can flip this whole being late right now if I can get them to laugh about it.
So I say 'punctuality'
The woman is like
The man is
Think they might of asked me one more question and they walked me right up out of there.
Probably was the quickest I have ever received a rejection letter in my life. Think it came like the next day.

an hour and a half latei woulda just said fukk it and went home
i was about 10 mins late to a job interview once due to crappy parking, tried to tell the interviewer and she was likesecurity in the background giggling n shyt
The messed up thing is I would have been 30 minutes early at the first place, so I was driving around for like 2 hours. It already took me an hour to get up there and was going to take an hour to get back. I knew I had no chance but somebody was listening to my credentials that day lol.
But from that point on, I always go find the place the night before or leave so I got like a hour buffer just in case. Rather sit in the car for a long time than that happen again.

I had a really big interview back in the day. I was amped like a mafukka. Well on my way, my damn car started overheating. It's the middle of the summer in Atl and traffic was terrible. I called the company to tell them I would be late. Well was able to pull off and fill may radiator with water (Luckily I always keep a gallon of water in my trunk). Keep in mind, its the dead summer 100 degrees and I'm in a suit and tie. I get my shirt and pants dirty, and I'm soaking in sweat by the time I make the interview. Hiring manager gave me the 
face. Told him the story of what happened and did a wack ass interview. I was too tired to give a fukk.
I didn't get that job needless to say lol.

Things happen, there's always a chance you'll be late no matter how early you leave - As long as you e-mail or text/phone and let them know usually it's never been a problem.

I feel like CACs in NY usually take stuff like that in stride. It's basically like if an entire portion of the subway system shut down multiple lines for like 6 hours (it's happened before) If it was a Brother or Sister that did this then

I was interviewing for a job and I had over 5 years experience in that field. The fukkin jew tells me he could start me at $10. I just looked at him like he was retarded. He said don't worry there's plenty of over time. I just got up and left

Brehs got me cryin'This was literally my first interview out of college. It's all going well. Meet a bunch of managers
Last manager says, this is great, you're a great fit, salary would be $30,000, in Brooklyn mind you.
I spent the whole fukking day there.
They called me a week later, didn't even pick up the phone.

What field? You can have 5 years of experience in flipping fries, don't mean you deserve more than $10.00 per hour
Bruh I remember I had an interview for the role I had now. Cracker pulled a test like here I'm looking at the shyt like I don't know nothing on this test.
I'm tryna cheat and there ain't no damn Internet connection in this place.
I was like fukk it.. I took pics of all the questions.
Cracker come out and I'm like 
he like do you need more time? I'm like noooo
I just came clean like I can't answer none of this shyt
but I took pics and imma make sure that I learn all this. And I bounced out the building like fukk fukk fukk
Low and behold I actually got the job, I think they respected my integrity. I didn't take the job and it's weird because they really wanted me even raised the wages. But my current job had better qualities long term. True stories
