What's the stupidest thing you've said in an interview?

The job i'm in now (i'm here years btw) after about 3 years working, we're rearranging the office and the boss finds my cv that I applied for the job with - "what was the name of the last place you worked in before here?" "eh, it was, eh, give me a minute it will come to me....". He just laughed it off. Moral of the story - To be a good liar, you need a good memory.:)

I actually had done the stuff on my CV, they weren't lies, I just had no idea what they were. They still hired me for some reason

My Dad was involved in recruiting new entry level people to the place he works years ago.

One applicant came in and they asked him, why do you want to work at X?

He said, I dont, my mother filled out the application for me because they want me to settle into a good career.

Interviewer: Well, there isnt much point in interviewing you then.

Applicant: Well, if its ok would you mind keeping me here a few minutes because my mother is outside waiting for me and she will know I just turfed it in if I come out straight away.

Interviewer: What career do you want to do?

Applicant: I want to be a singer. I love music.

Interviewer: OK, sing us a song so.

And he did, and my Dad said he was very good. Left on his merry way then.
