Job interview for a potential hire: Candidate had a decent resume with previous experience, had passed the initial non-tech interview, and seemed excited about the job. We talked about the job and how they would approach doing it.

Came to the part of the interview where we do about five minutes of sample work - very basic, no tricks.

Candidate opened up screen sharing, stared at the screen for a few seconds, and then unleashed a tirade about about how much they hated the role we were hiring for and that they had quit their previous job doing this because they passionately hated this job, etc.

It was shocking to have them go from excited about X to ranting about X. Still don't know what was going on.
