This was over a decade ago For funsies I sat for an hour before I was seen at one job interview. I had already gotten a position with my second choice, but I wanted to see what this company was going to offer since it was my first choice. The whole time I sat there nobody spoke to me, until at the end of that hour a woman walked by, looked at me and jumped a little, went a little pale, and rushed away.
