Yes, but awhile back (I don't do hiring anymore). Back in 1997, I was interviewing for an IT position (desktop support, nothing huge). The young man was perfectly on time... and so was his mother. I had to see where it was going so I kept her in the room. She didn't say anything once I started the interview but now and again, the kid would look at her, she would nod, and then he'd answer the question. Felt like she was his attorney or something. I didn't hire him, but it wasn't the mother-thing -- he just wasn't up to it. But, man, that was weird.

Not as weird as one applicant who, in the middle of the interview tried to hook me up with his mom, but close.

Wowza, now THAT is a story.
