I interviewed a candidate for a Director-level position on an unusually cold day in January. I met him in our lobby and offered to hang-up his top coat in the closet. As he's removing his top coat he says, "(explative) It's as cold as a witch's ___!" He read my "blank face" and quickly added, "Hey, lighten-up, all I said was (expletive)! Don't tell me you've never heard THAT word before." Dropping f-bombs and using crude expressions to describe the weather aren't the best ways to begin an interview. BTW, his top coat didn't spend much time in our lobby closet. TJNTIY.
