Shoutout to the guy who told me to "just wing it" on my resume
I took his advice and put "expert in making spreadsheets look pretty" on my resume and actually got an interview. The interviewer laughed and said that line is why she called me. Has anyone else gotten away with something silly on their resume?

That line about "expert in making spreadsheets look pretty" is solid - did they actually ask you to prove it during the interview, like a surprise formatting test or something?

Not sure I'd call it a surprise test, more like they asked me to walk them through a few of my past projects on the spot. @hugoh55 did you have to do something similar, or was it more casual? Maybe it's just me but interviews seem to overhype the spreadsheet stuff sometimes.
