This Irish guy asked me to prove my worth by building a small wall.
He didn't like it so I headbutted him and kicked it over.

Didn't get the job after that.

Or I could have bored everyone to death with a rambling story about the software suite deployed at my previous place of employment (a multinational Fast Moving Consumer Goods manufacturer) and how it interacted with various aspects of the manufacturing process - but I wouldn't want to be a monochrome dullard who routinely mistakes unbearably mundane pabulum for interesting anecdotes.
