You should not say "Do I have to take a drug test?"
You should not say "My last boss was a jerk." Or anything else negative about past employers.
You should not say "I can't work weekends."
You should not say "Is that a picture of your daughter? How old is she?"
You should not say "I hate...."
You should not say "take this job and shove it."
You SHOULD say...what are the benefits of this position? what opportunities are there for advancement? what will be expected of me? where are you in the interview process? am i the first person you've interviewed, or are you in the midst of several interviews? how soon can i expect a response from you?
And most importantly, NEVER SAY "Hi, I'm Sammy the Surfer"

1. This suit has been in my family for five generations. Fail to ace attire and grooming and you can sink your chances before you say a word.

2. You think this is disorganized. Wait till you see me on work projects. Neglecting to bring information required on the application, or bringing too few copies of your typo-free résumé, looks just plain careless.

3. I'd rather watch The Worst of C-Span than research your company. Bone up on recent new business the company has landed or write-ups about the firm in trade publications.

4. I expect you to provide the exact job I want on my terms -- now. Say too much about the job you want and you risk eliminating yourself.

5. I could care less -- but not much less. You don't want an awkward silence when asked if you have any questions. Speak up.

6. If you hire me, you'd better get your own résumé up to date. Come across as overly aggressive and you may scare the interviewer into rejecting you.

7. You might want to have security frisk me before I leave. Sharing confidential information about past or present employers will make the interviewer wonder if you can be trusted.

8. I think you're not playing with a full deck. If you're asked the "What are your weaknesses?" question, the interviewer wants a straight answer. Mention one noncritical area you'd like to polish.

9. I'm just going to go ahead and answer the question I wish you'd asked. Failing to answer the question that was actually posed will frustrate the interviewer.

10. I'll be a huge drain on company morale. A negative attitude regarding your current or past employers or colleagues will make your stock drop.

11. Ask not what I can do for you. What can you do for me? Asking questions about salary or benefits prior to getting a job offer is a major turnoff.

12. Why did we meet? Candidates who leave without underscoring their great interest in being hired are quickly forgotten.

Or Some funny ones!!
"Things NOT to say on a job interview..."

I try NOT to say the wrong things during an interview, but sometimes I forget and say things like...

"I know a guy who sells nice looking toupees."

"Is it considered sexual harassment if I bring a cigar to work?"

"I've only killed one boss in the past."

"Nice tie, but I think you need to make it tighter around your neck."

"Mind if I put my feet up on your desk?"

"Can I borrow your secretary for the night?"

"Why can't I see the porno on your PC?"

"Are you wearing business casual or did Goodwill have another clothing sale?"

"Do they ever hire smart people here?"

"How come you keep flash cards on your desk?"

"What's that weird thing you keep doing with your left eyebrow?"

"Why do you need such a big desk?"

"How come your chair doesn't have an eject button?"

"From the looks of things, I assume they don't have an exercise room here."

"Do you have an open door policy to go along with your open mouth policy?"

"Are you always this BORING?"

"How come your phone has big, square buttons on it and plays little kids' songs?"

"If you hire me today, I promise I will not miss a single holiday or vacation day."

"Now I know how the slaves must have felt!"

They gave me back my guns after I was released from the homeless shelter.

Seriously, you shouldn't mention any difficulties you had with co-workers or boss. You shouldn't ramble, and don't fill in the silence with small talk. Answer only a direct question and then be quiet.
Good luck!

Your desperateness to join in
Your past companies intricate details

I have never been able to keep a job. I somehow always manage to get myself fired. What is wrong with me?

"Are there any babes working here?"

"You don't really check on my old employers, right?"

"Listen, this 40 hours a week, that's just a suggestion, isn't it?"

"I think it's really cool that you hire Satanists."

"Who's butt do I have to kiss to get an office like yours?"

Don't tell them things that really aren't true about yourself. It won't help you in the long run.
