I was asked twice by two people in a Southwest interview if I have ever called out sick when I wasn't really sick. I thought about it for a second:
1. I tell them no. They know I'm a liar.
2. I tell them yes. They know I'm a liar.
It's a pretty lousy question in my opinion. I told them I missed a commute once and then told them about my best friends mom that died so I called out to stay with him.
I didn't get an offer (thank god, it was after the AirTran merger).
