I Had To Draw A Transformer
I had an interview for a job as an electrical engineer, and specifically dealing with power systems. The interviewer asked if I would draw a transformer on the whiteboard, which was in the room, and explain how it works. “Okay,” I said, “A transformer. Do you want Optimus prime or megaton?”. The interviewer was old and obviously had no clue what I was talking about, so I proceeded to say my sorries and neverminds and drew a transformer with a beet red face. I am sure that I looked pretty stupid and never ended up getting the job.
