Yeah, I run into this a lot too, hah. It's depressing but also pretty funny when you've got enough distance from it. My favorite was an ex-girlfriend working in HR interviewed a candidate with 15 years of experience, and was told to ask him to solve FizzBuzz in a language of his choice.

(This is obviously a silly test for various reasons, but she was following orders.)

She called me later that day because the guy couldn't do it, so he instead blew the fuck up at HR and accused them of ambushing him with a super complex interview question. From his reaction, she thought that the company had tricked her into making totally unreasonable demands of someone who hasn't had a month to prepare.

God knows what the hell that guy did at his previous role.
