Having the CEO try to dunk on applicants during interviews
Wasn't the CEO, but the CTO at a startup I was applying with years ago swooped into an interview at a place I was pretty sure I wasn't going to accept an offer from, while I was at the whiteboard solving some stupid thing.
He immediately started arguing with me about some code on the side that was from a previous question, kept interrupting me when I tried to correct him, and then told me I should be cleaner about my work when he finally figured out his mistake.
I thanked the person actually interviewing me (not Mr. CTO) for his time, picked up my stuff and walked out without another word.
