Didn't happen to me but a friend of the SO, but so out there it had to be told to the masses. The first question on the application was 'What colour is your aura?' 
How high or how much of a hipster do you have to be to figure that is a relevant question?

Anything you lose from being honest
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

Let those fuckers figure out a stupid answer to a stupid question themselves.
I would have answered "as black as Satan's cloak and as shriveled as your intellect".
That'd take care of that pesky job, I bet.
She said that after she was able to push the laughter down deep enough to maintain a level of professionalism that she ended the interview.
I would rather discuss my aura than have my mommy come to an interview with me.
(I would offer up something awesome and nonsensical like a piece of In The Beginning from S.A.T.D.: "In the dusts of hell lurked the blackest of hates, For he whom you fear awaits you")
WTF is this world coming to?

You always deliver Hobbeses.

They still hired her back.

i myself haven't written anything goofy or been asked anything goofy on a job application, i just sometimes didn't turn them in completed. i've a terrible memory with dates, names & phone numbers. this one trucking company i was hired at handed me the keys & i was set. the only problem was i didn't turn in a decently completed application. then i'd lose/misplace the paperwork, yet i'm still driving around a set of doubles (two flat bed trailer) for them. it took months & several new applications to iron that crap out. at one point (& i am not joking, it just fell out of my mouth that way, plus i disliked the meticulous bastard all over me about stupid ass bullshit paperwork) i told one of the owners of the company that i used the application to start a fire in the fireplace. he looked at me like, wtf!?
i rarely open my mail, paperwork takes years to complete, making appointments is a disaster, life is good & thank goodness i've a professional & lovable secretary

Honestly if I saw that question on an application I would answer "The colour of Pearl Jam"
Follow-up question: What color is "eroding?"
It's hard to tell the colors turn grey, the black and white fades
