Voicemail freakout
I showed up five minutes before the appointed time and checked in with reception to notify my interviewer of my arrival. I was told to have a seat.
After 20 minutes, I confirmed with reception that my interviewer was aware that I had arrived. After 20 more minutes, I started wondering about their professionalism and whether I wanted to work there.
At the hour mark I stood up and left. Even if there had been some sort of crisis, there was nothing to stop them from telling me they were dealing with something and would not be able to go ahead with the interview.
This was before mobile phones were common. I got home to find the light on my answering machine blinking. The message was the interviewer screaming at me for having wasted her time. She promised I would never work in the industry and she would make it her mission to ruin my career.
So glad I walked away.
