I actually did this. Maybe not within thirty seconds or so, but I was applying for a higher level position (above my current classification) at a collections agency. Was kind of sick of the grind but others thought I should be promoted, but interview was required first. I basically told them over and over that if they paid me the right salary I'd do the job. They were not impressed, and my then manager had a few words for me the next day. Oh to be young and not having a care in the world. I also knew I had a different career path in mind, so I wasn't interested in staying either.

I hate the fact that Dell got rid of the track point on their higher end models. My hands get dry on occasion and then my precision's touch pad stops responding. Besides the fact that I hate using it when it works well.
I had a colleague ask me if he won the lottery, how much could they gift me to retire immediately? Of course a small windfall would be great to set up future stability, but I told them 5 million to give all work up immediately.
As I get older I realize that karma really doesn't exist. And I have to be okay with that. Although that's not what it's sold to us every day in the media or even in social circles.
I worked call center years ago for a credit card company. Used to answer my phone accidentally with my intro from work.
On my days to exercise I'll pick up trash around my block on my cool down walk. If it's 3 miles out I'm likely to not pick it up given I'm typically on a run at that point.
