Some interviewers suck!
Just finished with an interview and I am sure I didn't do very good. But I feel it was just as much the interviewer's fault as it was mine. He was asking questions in a vague weird way I haven't seen before. One question was he asked me to use objects around my house to explain OOP, which I did and I said words that would indicate encapsulation, polymorphism, etc. He then told me he was looking for the specific words, which his question was vague and he could have just said he was looking for those specific words instead of me using some object to explain things. I feel like he should have been able to interpret the answers he was looking for when he was expecting me to interpret what specific answers he was looking for through is odd explanation of asking me a question.
I understand people do things differently, but I sure do love when I get an interviewer that knows how to interview and makes the process simple. I don't care about easy and I am a dumb ass 4/3 of the time (yes I meant 4/3), but have a guy with an accent rambling for 30 seconds to ask a question where he wants just a simple specific answer. It was painful.... oh well onto the next one I go.
I just wanted to rant a bit :)

jesus, asking to explain OOP in terms of household demands a slap with LSP
Thats the worst mental thing you can do to project OOP from real world into programming.... my god...
Yes that interviewer sucked.
