One time as a teenager I was interviewing for a line cook position. Interview was going pretty good until chef mentioned "Can you handle pranks? We have fun around here", or something like that.

Nowadays I would have been very cool and normal about it. Instead of... That... For some reason I adopted what I can only recall must have been a wicked sneer, and said "We all have our dark sides , heh hehhh".

To a passive observer the interview continued for a few more minutes, but in reality it was over at that moment and I knew it instantly. The imp of the perverse had alighted on my shoulder for exactly three seconds and ruined the whole thing.
