A Jumbo Misunderstanding
My wife was doing an interview and the interviewer asked her “How she would handle a situation if there was an Elephant in the room.” Not being familiar with the phrase she proceeded to describe in detail all the things she would consider to help get the Elephant out of the room.
The interviewers allowed her to finish and she didn’t realize it until she told me about it later. Story credit: Reddit / Overrated_22
