Mostly these aren't really behavioral interview questions.

Behavioral interview questions typically sound something like "tell me about a time when you..."

There's lots of value in a real, well crafted behavioral interview question, but most of these examples are just run-of-the-mill low-value interview questions.

Tell me about the time questions still make me think up bullshit answers as I have to adapt my existing stories to the question etc. I also don't have the best memory so I have to think up some details and sometimes I just say something plain wrong by mistake and I have to keep going with it in order to save face. I do feel like a Michael Scott actually.
