World's Worst Interview Question---in my experience

Completely out of context with no explanation, I once had an interviewer ask me:

Q: On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your tolerance for boring tasks?
Ann: Could you define that please?
Q: No, just pick a number.

How does one even answer that question? "Gee golly willagers sir, I'm not familiar with this 'scale' you speak of. I just love counting paper clips all day for weeks on end, would that qualify as a one or a ten?"

Needless to say, I don't work for him nor do I count paper clips all day long. I'm happy I have great coworkers who don't intimidate me with nonsensical questions.
