That reminds me of one that I had. I was at a friend's wedding, but also had a phone interview scheduled that day. I thought it would be easy enough just to take some time away and sneak into my car to have some privacy.
The interview ended up running long because the interviewer just talked on and on with small talk. My drunk friends didn't know what I was doing and when they found me in the car on the phone, they started purposely distracting me. I had to roll the windows up to tune them out.
The problem was that it was >30C that day and I was wearing a tuxedo. I was so hot and sweating so badly, I literally felt like I was going to pass out.
I ended up getting the job and stayed with the company for 4 years. It totally wasn't their fault and the interviewer had no idea that I was in that situation, but I just remember wishing he would shut up the whole time.
