Whatever happened to the “so, what are some of your weaknesses” question?
So you thought job interviews couldn’t get more bizarre after you heard about the Japanese guy who stole the company president’s wallet during a job interview, and the man who tried to rob a Chuck E. Cheese’s while interviewing for a job, right? Well, think again, because this job interview was just downright odd.
Daniel Dougherty, an 18-year-old from Derby, had to walk out of his interview at TGI Fridays after a series of questions left him shocked — questions that included if he’d “rather watch his parents have sex for a year or join in just for the start?” Yep, that was asked.

Dougherty was also asked if he would “…rather shit a brick or cry a glass?” The insane interview also included ballon making for some reason, but it was the ten-minute interview with a member of staff who is believed to be a bartender that really shook Dougherty up.
The interview started off normally, but things took a strange turn fairly quickly according to Dougherty.
“When he asked me if I would sleep with my parents for a year or just join in for the start, my stomach turned and I told him it was wrong and I wasn’t going to answer,” Dougherty recalls. “Then then asked if I’d rather shit a brick or cry a glass, and I just stared at him open-mouthed. It was quickly followed by, would I eat chocolate-flavored shit or shit-flavored chocolate. I humored him by saying ‘chocolate-flavored shit,’ but then stood up to go.”
The funny part is that most of the food at Fridays tastes like shit.
Here’s what Fridays had to say: “Fridays offers an industry-leading recruitment process, and this incident fell severely below our high standards. The questions posed during the interview with the candidate are absolutely not part of TGI Friday’s interview process and we were very disappointed to learn of this incident.
The idiot who asked the questions has also been suspended.
Fridays has offered Dougherty the chance to interview again, but Dougherty obviously will not take the offer.
