The day I interviewed for my current job, I had to take my car in for emergency maintenance. So, I got a ride to the interview from my wife. I rode in the passenger seat. She dropped me off, I kissed her goodbye, she wished me luck and out I went. She started to pull the car away and came to a screeching halt yelling "HONEY STOP!!" and honking her horn. Apparently my behind was smeared with a dark mushy stain. Not quite what you're thinking...my daughter had sat in the front passenger seat last...eating a hershey bar. And lucky me, I sat in the remnants of it. My suit jacket covered most of it, but I had to walk backwards and stand against walls as much as I possibly could for the duration of the interview! When the interview was over, I had to shake my interviewer's hand and walk backwards out the door like a servant or something... He must have thought I was a little off, but it is much better than having him think I crapped my pants!! All ended well and I have never told anyone this until now!
