If so, how did you respond?
What did you make of it?
Did you get the job?

I'm asking because this just happened to me. It was pretty awkward.

An interviewer mistook my comment as me hitting on her and she was flattered. I didn't correct it lol

Usually my publicist will remind the interviewer not to hit on me during the interview. Its happened too frequently which is a compliment but not consistent with my branding.

Once, I was interviewing for a pool cleaning company, I panicked and starting crying during the interview, but I managed to complete it, the lady told me it was an exercise to see how Id react in the field, I now run that company

LMAO do people really do that? I've interviewed some women that I thought were incredibly gorgeous, but I would never hit on them. That's super unprofessional.

He had an erection, but didn't say anything that would imply hitting on me.

Holy shit, I had to take a fucking "class" as a Senior Manager about how to properly interview because I got reported for asking a person if they had a car or not. Even in the context of me asking it in a rhetorical way trying to lighten the mood (because the guy came REALLY late to the interview), apparently it's "classist" and discriminatory to poor people to ask that question and instead I'm suppose to ask it like this "Do you have a reasonable means of transportation to get to work on time?" I'm sharing this because the rest of the "course" HR had me take was obvious shit like hitting on interviewee.

So what I'm basically saying is if you felt really uncomfortable about getting hit on during an interview, you can literally get them in trouble by reporting it to their HR department, especially if they're a megacorp like a Fortune 500 company.

Well it was the owner of the company I was interviewing with.
After I got the job, I'm sitting in his office filling out paperwork etc. He strikes up a conversation about his experiences in the field and I'm chiming in with mine as well. Then there are some documents that I wasn't too clear on how to fill out. He slides his office chair over to mine and while we're reviewing the document together, he slides his left leg over to my right leg and now our legs from blow the knee are obvious touching. I waited a couple seconds to see if he would remove it as it was him moving his leg to touch mine. Five seconds later, his leg is still touching mine. I them adjust myself in my chair and quickly remove my leg, acting all nonchalant about it.

I use to be extremely naive about these things but I'm older now and know when someone is making an advance to me.
Don't know if he was just testing me or really hitting on me though. He later mentioned that his wife passed away a couple years ago.

No. But my the man I married did interview me for a job (along with 2 others). He thought I was attractive and smart. I did not work for him, but a few month after I started working I flirted with him and we ending up going out. Weve been together for 17 years now (married for 14).

No, but once I was interviewed by a lady with a mountain of cleavage popping out of her top. Like, just her talking created motions of jiggle. If it was a test of willpower I failed hard and had a feeling I wouldn't be called back.
