A candidate showed up very early to a job interview. How early? 3 months early. Before we even put up the ad. Him: "I'm here for the Junior Marketer role." Me: “Err...we aren't hiring." Him: "Not yet. I'm from the future and have travelled back to get a leg up on other applicants." I was floored. I couldn't argue with this dedication and hired him on the spot. After a couple months I suspected him to be a con artist and a compulsive liar and fired him on the spot. I vowed never to fall for the "I'm from the future" trick again. However, I realised that we actually do need a new Junior Marketer and put out a job ad for it the following Monday. That Monday was exactly 3 months after that man showed up "early". Wow. I might have fired a real time traveller. There is still so little we understand about the universe
