A few years ago I applied for a Java role at an animation studio.  They told 
me up front to come dressed casually and for some reason I suspected this 
was some kind of trap (you know, see if I actually respected them enough to 
wear a suit).

When I turned up I was shocked to find both interviewers in tee shirts, 
shorts and sandals.  Then I looked around and the entire (extremely 
youthful) workforce was dressed similarly.

Needless to say I felt a bit silly but fortunately I got the job (even 
though I was older than everyone else I could see by a fair margin) :-)
