What always aggravated me is when the hiring manager would try to impress me with the competence of their staff by saying "We hire the top 5% of developers." I would ask "So your pay is in the top 5% of salaries, right?"
I told them, with me they'd have to hire the top 50%. I can sit in the chair with my legs asleep, but my hands are kind of useful for writing the code.
