This reminds me of a practice a recruiter used to boast when I applied for a job - throwing half the applications in the shredder without even reading them because they didn’t want to work with “unlucky people”. Albeit I was mildly curious about what mental gymnastics the person did to end up with such a frivolous way of not doing his job, I never left a building quicker ever since.

This is an old hiring manager joke that's been around for enough decades that someone was sure to try it.

Yeah, with the additional punchline that "the lucky ones were the half that got shredded as they didn't need to deal with the hiring manager."
