On interviewing

After telling a prospective applicant that we do background checks:

So, like, a felony would be a problem?

Yes, that would exclude you from consideration.

Oh. Well, ’cause I have 3 felonies. So should I apply?

Um… No, it would really be a waste of your time.

Oh. Well my cousin, see, she doesn’t have any felonies. Could she apply?

Sure.

Oh. Now my friend is lookin’ for work too. She’s only got 2 felonies. Should I have her call you?

Do you see why I hate interviewing?
