At Wit’s end

Rigorous honesty

A newcomer had it drilled into her by her sponsor that she had to be absolutely honest in everything she did.  The newcomer took this to heart when she went on a recent job interview.  

Interviewer:  What would you say is your biggest character defect?  

Newcomer: My honesty.  

Interviewer:  Well, I don’t think honesty is a problem. 

Newcomer:  I don’t give a damn what you think.
