I totally failed an interview because I was panicked when writing some simple code on a whiteboard. The interview started with three interviewers in the room but only one was talking to me. The other two remained silent the entire time. The talking interviewer asked me to solve a simple problem on a whiteboard, and I to my own surprise just couldn't do it. I'm already nervous just meeting new people who don't know me as a person, and I'm trying to perform my craft outside of my usual environment while being judged.

I use a whiteboard at work to pseudo code a solution, and the writing looks like chicken scratch but even my co-workers get what I'm expressing to them. Then I open up a console and start typing out my idea to see if I was right. That's how I normally solve some throw away piece of code. I don't go into a manager's office and call some other random people and in detail explain to them my idea to a solution.

I also got the feeling they never saw my resume because I was asked if I had a github profile, and it's on my resume.
