Part of it is they also assume that the minute you get something better, you'll leave and have wasted their time.
This is why I think I'm probably a low-level sociopath--lying would be my very first instinct in this situation, to the point that I'm confused when other people don't do it. Just say you have no job history. You never moved out of your parents' house, but now your mom has finally died and your dad has kicked you out. Act a little dumb, not a lot but slip in "ain't" and "got no" a few times. If they have a preconceived notion, all you have to do is fit it.
