What's mildly irritating you today?

It's a stupid question.

What is the interviewer hoping to learn from such a question? How do you handle non sequitors?

I think its a good question because you say bidness A. The interviewer asks why A? Your answer tells them what you think is important. I can see dropping the ball when asked cold though. "Well my boss at A used to hook us up with coke at Christmas-time but all the guys at B used to get together on weekends to cook meth, that just isn't very professional, management shouldn't mix with the worker bees."
