If you've been in the workforce for even a few years, chances are you've had at least one not-so-great interview (if not several).

When posed the question, "Bosses of Reddit, what's the worst interview you've seen?" Redditors did not disappoint in providing entertaining and shocking tales of interview woe.

From blatantly sexist (or possibly murderous) candidates to those who actually brought along their parents to the interview, take a look at some of the internet's craziest interview horror stories. You'll feel better about yourself in minutes, we promise.

Most expensive interview ever.
