Why do people insist on asking questions like "Tell me about few things that you find irritating at work?" during interviews? Particularly when recruiting at a senior level when the candidate's already expecting such a question and because of that, the answer provided won't provide a real answer just a prepared answer that provides no insight. Pointless all round.
I prefer to spend my time finding out how someone deals with various situations that are valid to the role I'm Interviewing for than ask them questions like this. What other questions are there that provide no value in interview:
"Tell me how your team would describe you?"
"Can you work under pressure?"
"What are your weaknesses?" / "What are your development areas?"
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
