My experience was part of what, in hindsight, was still a really bad interview. The person who asked me that question was a manager basically reading off a sheet of questions and the next step was with a dev who's only real concern was whether I'd "annoy" them once I got the job.

I'm sitting here just shaking my head at the memory.

I once offended an HR manager, by asking them "are you gonna ask me about the principles of OOP?", and apparently he was, because he was shocked and told me why shouldn't he, and I said "You invited me to a Senior PHP Developer position, surely I would know the OOP principles by now!".

Well, I didn't mean to offend them, and might have come as arrogant to them for saying what I said... Oh well...
