[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had one that was on the sidelines of his kid's soccer game half listening and cheering for his kid.  My kid hung up, they called back and my kid let it go to voicemail.[/quote]

And you're proud of your child for doing this? Sorry, but that was entitled, obnoxious behavior on the part of a 17-year-old.[/quote]

+1 Sounds like the interviewer made the crucial mistake of thinking he was dealing with a normal person.
There's a lull at his kids' game and he figures, good time to call. (If interviewers don't call the second they are assigned, they're evil, right?) Then suddenly his kid gets the ball and he gets distracted. And your kid reacts like this? Embarrassing.[/quote]

Not PP-I think it's shameful that the interviewer had so little respect for the person he was interviewing that they didn't care how rude and inconsiderate their behavior was. If you don't want to do it right, then don't volunteer to interview. Instead of hanging up though, perhaps the student could have suggested that they schedule a different time to finish the interview. DH used to interview for an Ivy, and he either conducted a phone interview during a time he wouldn't be distracted or would meet the student at a coffee shop for an in-person discussion. [/quote]
