Here's one for the books - I asked a candidate a standard question "tell me how you handle conflict at work."
This young lady stared me dead in the eye and said "I make things right - I get even." I nervously laughed. She was not kidding, she went on about how she "got revenge" on a colleague she had beef with by sabotaging his Powerpoint slides. I thanked her for her time, walked her out. Like, I really stood at the door and made sure she got into her car.

Terrifying! I can't believe people behave that way and what's even more incredulous is that they will bring it up during an interview. They may as well have walked into the interview waving a big red flag!
