Thanks for your contributions so far. Here are a couple new ones in the "worst" category and keep the interview questions coming!

-"What type of vehicle do you drive?" - From a manager who believes he can ascertain meaningful personality traits from the type of car you cart around in.

- "Can I see your hands?' - from a business owner and part-time palmist who thought he could determine my fit in his company by the landscape of my palms.

- "I once asked a candidate why they were relocating to the Jacksonville area the answer was 'I have some trouble i got into in Tampa. I am trying to get away from it. Will this be a problem in the hiring process"

- "Being that we are prone to Hurricanes on the Florida coast I also had a candidate from Michigan ask me if there were 'round shaped houses available in the area should he relocate.' He then proceeded to explain wind drag and the differences between a round home and a traditional home.

- "I also had a candidate ask me if anybody else was interviewing for a position in accounting. She claimed that she was not competitive and would not be interested if she wasn't the only one interviewing."
