At my current job's interview (which was 5 years ago), I was handed a napkin and asked to write an sql query to get a count of how many "billable leads a certain customer had". I looked at him, and asked "so... what's the table structures like?" He replied "it doesn't matter, I just want to see how you think." Afterwards, he said the position was for a c# developer, and he asked if I wanted the job. I told him I had never even looked at c# before, and he replied "it doesn't matter, you'll figure it out."
My last job's interview... nearly 9 years ago... I walk into the room, we shake hands, then one of the guys gets a text, he makes a comment to the other guy, and they both excuse themselves. I was left alone in the room for nearly an hour, and when they came back, they said simply "some days emergencies happen. Thanks for not leaving." (I think that particular issue was the old computer which did all the shipping through ups and fedex had finally died, and a replacement had to be quickly setup).
Anyway, interviews are weird places.
