Twitter Users Shared Their Worst Interview Stories

#47: Again, with the Water?

It’s baffling that some individuals consider drinking water unprofessional in certain settings. In this account, a Twitter user shared an incident where a woman was criticized for simply hydrating herself during a meeting with a client. Such criticism seems unreasonable, as staying hydrated is a basic human need, and drinking its water during the day is only natural.

The irony of this story lies in the fact that the client who chastised the woman for drinking water had a glaring typo on his business card, which read “Leaning & Development” instead of “learning.” It serves as a reminder that everyone makes mistakes, and criticizing someone for a minor action while overlooking more significant errors can be absurd.
