I can't recall any situations where I had such problems.

I agree. I'd ask the question mainly to see whether I got a baffled
expression or some kind of cogent response, whether or not they'd
actually had the face the problem. It's just always better to say
"tell me about a case where you had to ..." than to say "tell me
in what situation this might happen and how you would handle it".
IOW, ask for actual experiences, not taught techniques.
