Sometimes I feel like you guys live in alternative universe. Nothing about the "bad" interview sounded too atypical. Sure it's annoying, but not uncommon enough to be exceptional.

I don't mean to discount anyone's unpleasantness but you'd be surprised how much worse the rest of the world is.

Applying to and taking a new job requires bidirectional approval and sense of fit. The way a company conducts its interview process is a reflection of the corporate culture and sometimes is enough to erode the sense of fit on the applicant's side. If the interview process is a disorganized mess, why should the applicant believe the rest of the company is any different?

Generally I agree but but when the bills keep stacking up and savings getting depleted it gets harder to be picky.

Agree but sometimes smaller organizations have allot going on and not enough people to stay on top of it all. These can be the best opportunities.
