1. The Filler I made a considerable effort to prepare and attend this interview. Within seconds of entering the room, one of the two interviewers told me, via his constant scowl, that he had no interest in me or the process. Clearly, I was there to make up their numbers with no right of appeal.

This interview lasted 11 minutes (with two general questions pretty much shouted at me by the scowler when he wasn't rolling his eyes). The second interviewer has quite a reputation in international history these days, but sadly, I can't see his name without thinking 'what a prize pr*ck.'
