What the worst thing you've done during an interview?

I once attended a super day with my suit pants fly zip down. It took me about 30-40 minutes before I had the strange feeling that something with my suit was wrong. I managed to fix the problem as casual as possible, and still to this day I don't think any of the recruiters saw it, however, at least one of the other candidates saw it. It was pretty embarrassing but I got an offer.

What's the worst thing you have done during an interview or super day?
