Have you been painting?
Approximately 15 years ago, my partner went for an interview for the position of secretary at a small family run mortgage company. She went into the interview room and was asked the usual questions. Midway through one of her answers he cut her off to ask her if she’d “been painting” prior to the interview.
She asked why he thought this and he replied, “because of the brown spots on your arms”.
My partner has what I would call ‘beauty spots’ and this genius thought they were paint splatters.
Needless to say the interview didn’t go any further.
