Many times! One of the more memorable ones was when an interviewer just seem distracted and keep yawning. It made me feel like they were just not interested in me (That said I did progress that time - maybe she was just tired). However, I usually will still reach out to the recruiter to get feedback from the interviewer to understand what I can do to improve regardless if it was a good or bad interview.

I always feel like my interviews go badly, even when I get a job offer after them. Such nerve-racking experiences.

Had them go both ways. Some where it seems great at the time and then you don't hear back and some where it was all over quickly but got the job. Hard to know unless you get some feedback so I always try and sus out how I went at the end with some q's.
