Oh I got a couple from the last few years:

I went through a 2 hour :airquote: One and Done :airquote: interview process with a company that manages shopping malls. Outside of dumbshit stuff like wanting me in the office 5x a week to work on cloud based stuff, they asked me what i would do in an zombie apocalypse and expected a serious answer. I started to wind up on how the whole idea is both racist and stupid but I stopped myself and hung up on the interview

Different one - a recruiting company reaches out to me and says some muckety-muck wants to interview me for a decent position and that "he saw your profile and likes what he sees" (profile not resume being the key word). I got on the interview and it was a middle-aged man who set up the whole thing to flirt with me. It was every bit as degrading and insulting as you could imagine - I'm a 44 year old cishet male desperately looking for work and having a total stranger trying to use baby talk about my dog during what was ostensibly a job interview was :stare::stare::stare:

thats ignoring the numerous job interviews where I applied for a position, spoke with a recruiter about the position, got to the technical interview and it was both an extremely junior and paid way less than the job description. I've worked in VOIP & video conferencing for almost 24 years now; having some random dude try to convince me that I could start as a junior tech and work my way up to sales engineer (when I applied for the senior SE position) is frustrating and insulting.
