This is a question Job Interview Disasters

The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak. "Christ, what a craphole", I said. I think that's the moment I blew it. Tell us how you didn't get the job.

Top button
In an interview for a data entry job (which I was already doing as a temp in the same place, and had clearly demonstrated that I was more capable than most of the existing staff), I didn't do my top button up. I was wearing a shirt and suit jacket, and a tie (not loosened or anything). But I didn't do my top button up and that's why they told me that I hadn't been given a spot. It was apparently "disrespectful".

Come on.
You go for a job interview it's a must that you do all your buttons up, wear a tie and clean your shoes.

And why was your top button undone?
There really is no excuse. It's almost khaki trouser territory.

guess they have to get picky about the little things when old-fashioned things like competence or people skills aren't relevant

They were trying to think of a polite way to tell you that you were flying low.

I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't hire someone who can't dress themself.

That strategy only works if you have massive, heaving tits with a cleavage that could hide Rivendell.
