Dude, where'd you get that hideous tie?
So, is it okay if I bring my dog?
Is that a rug you're wearing, or is it just the worst haircut, like, ever?
Is that a picture of your daughter? She's hot!

8. "How soon will I be promoted?"
Really bad question to ask for any position you're currently seeking.

22. How long do you plan to stay here?
Your job sounds more interesting than the one I am applying for and I'd rather do what you're doing.

(I actually had an applicant say that to me once. He was not hired.)
