tell the story of a job interview that goes badly

i was desperately searching for a "real" job that didn't require me to work 100 hours a week and allowed me to wear pretty shoes. i answered an ad for a receptionist at a mental health clinic. sounded like it could either be great, or a bunch of basket cases. the office manager was very nice, very professional and i felt it was going well. she took me on a little tour and i felt like i could enjoy it there despite the daily prayers since it was a christian clinic owned and operated by a minister. then the owner wanted to meet me and conduct his own portion of the interview, in which he asked me my age, marital status, sexual preference, number of children, religion, and if i planned on moving again in the future since i had moved around a lot as a child. um, hi, illegal. after about question number 2 i decided fuck it, i don't want the job that badly, and if he's this inappropriate in a 20 minute interview he must be an absolute nightmare to work for. i did not get the job. i was very tempted to respond to my little rejection letter with a note of my own telling the nice office manager she might want to pass on a list of laws concerning employee rights to her boss.
