In the one about the giraffe, that's a lead in to the old joke. "how do you get an elephant in the fridge?" - Easy, open fridge door, place elephant in fridge, often followed up by "how do you get a zebra in the fridge", often the response is: "open fridge door place zebra in the fridge" - wrong!

I went for an interview for a part time job when my children were 2 1/2 & 6 months old. Child care was already sorted should I have been offered the job. The interview was 9.30 in the morning. So I had already organised myself to be there on time and have the children taken care of.
During the chat before the interview started I learnt that he was not married and he had no children amongst other chit chat. Half way through the interview he asked me if I was an organised person. My reply was that I was here on time despite my domestic situation and I would say that that stated that I was organised. I don't really think that he understood what I meant and I thought it was a stupid question to ask a person who had two small children who wanted to return to work. I was offered the job but turned it down (it was a number of years ago when jobs were abundant) because I felt I could not work for someone with that mentality.

"Shall we all go for lunch?" This was for Practice Manager in a firm of solicitors.
They told me they knew nothing about accounts or installing a networked computer system, and had read my CV, and saw I did (FCA and had just installed a similar system) so that was the whole interview. It was the happiest place I've ever worked in.

The oddest interview I ever held was at the same firm, when I was asked to interview a girl for a client position involving PR and client support.
After an enjoyable few minutes, during which she impressed me very favourably, it turned out she was a client who had entered the wrong room, and had the same Christian name as the real interviewee.
She said she thought some of the conversation was a bit odd, but didn't like to say anything.
