Have you ever screwed up a job interview?

I've been applying for a lot of jobs lately, now that I've graduated highschool. Hasn't been going too well, but I just sent my resume to a placs that's almost a guaranteed job, so wahoo!

Anyway, I'm a little nervous about getting interviewed, mostly because of my first job interview I had back when I was 14.

At the time, I had a lot of... issues, so to speak, and I was also socially stunted from the lockdown, and I showed up to my interview in a stained hoodie and sweatpants with massive pockets due to my "collection" of compulsively hoarded trash in them, and when the person interviewing me asked me to talk about myself I said "I like to draw. That's basically the only thing interesting about me." And I still cringe thinking about it to this day.

I think I'd like to hear some other people's job interview screw up stories so I feel less alone, might soothe my nerves a bit!
