Mal Stevens of Freehold, N.J., a recruiter was working for a personnel agency in Manhattan many years ago when a woman arrived and
demanded a job that day. The office, however, was about to close early, for a religious holiday.

    Informed by a job counselor of the early closing, she grabbed a pair of scissors from his desk and
    stabbed him in the arm. Then she ran up the stairs to another personnel office, where the manager
    went through the motions of setting up a 3 P.M. interview with a Fortune 500 corporation while he
    waited for the police to arrive.

    As the woman was escorted out by the police, she called out, "Is this what you call a 3 P.M.
    interview?"
