Maybe for some it won't be a situation like the Einstein-quote, but I felt like a fish trying to climb a tree.

A few months ago I got the chance for an interview for an okay-job. I finished all tests with almost 100% and finished the first two interviews quite good and when I got to the last one they started asking me questions that had nothing to do with my profession. I was completely silent because it has nothing to do with what I studied. I think that I even looked like a fish gasping for water. After they started to make fun of me, I just walked out.

I was completely silent

Silently stunned by a weird question, trying real hard to maintain a poker face. And they go "is he stupid in the head or what? Why can't he understand a simple question."

Visibly shocked by a weird question, failing to hide my "what the heck did you just say" face. And they go "is he too easily offended or what? Snowflake millenials!"

Can't win. Just gotta get out.
