Once, I made an SPA for an interview with plain JS and handlebars for templating. It was for a react team and I was not big into react but wanted to show I get how all the pieces fit together, but still be able to understand and debug what I had written for them. Instead of being in unfamiliar territory with react debugging. Anyhoo, the switch-statement router based on changes in the URL hash was just about where they couldn't take it anymore. They couldn't see why I hadn't used some library for the routing. I had genuine flubs aside from that in the interview and definitely wasn't right for them, but it was funny to see heads quizzically turn to the side during that portion. I was like "well, what a weird little detail to get hung up on".
