When the day of the interview came, I was asked a question about persevering through hardship. I used my college experience as an example, then told them that result was that I completed my bachelor's degree. The senior manager looked me right in the face and said: “Oh, you have a bachelor's degree!? That's helpful!” This fucker had me spend extra time and effort making a second resume, and never read either one. I got the job, but I never forgot that shit. So fucking stupid.
