I had a first interview in a company that was looking for a frontend developer but also would be in charge of customer support. They thought I was great for the position but I was lacking better spoken English to be attending customers, so they told me they would keep me in mind for future positions.

A year later, their HR department calls me saying they have the perfect role for me. I get to the interview with 3 people from their team and they start asking me backend questions. I had some experience dealing with WP and Magento but backend wasn't my thing. Then, the "senior" developer stands up, laughs to my face and says: "If you have no experience with backend why the fuck would you apply to this position?"

I was so in shock that I wasn't even able to say that I never applied, they called me.
