Because I'm sick and fucking tired of my boss. He's an arrogant jackass that thinks he knows everything. The guy actually has zero experience when it comes to being a manager. He was a regular engineer that got promoted to director of an entire region. This fucking jackass does not know the job and is extremely critical of anyone that knows more than he does. This poor example of leadership loses his temper in zero seconds flat. To the point that it surprises everyone. Of course, I'm not the only person having trouble with this piece of excrement. I thought about going to HR but that will only make things worse. He will not be fired, and he will eventually exact his revenge.
Just today this fucking moron demands that I be in the office at 8:00 am sharp but has absolutely no fucking problem calling me at 6PM or later. Told me that I lie to him, and that I should check up on my employees by tracking them with the GPS units the company installed in the vehicles. Even though HR specifically said that was a big no-no. The GOS system is only there to provide emergency services if needed or to look at an employees history of something comes up. So when I ask him to put it in writing he tells me that he didn't say anything like that. This wonderful example of a fascist dictator wants to call me at 8:00 AM every morning to make sure I am at my desk. Even though my job requires me to support technicians in remote locations throughout the south east. And in the same city, meaning it is unlikely that I'll be at my desk at 8 AM and even if I am, there is no guarantee I'll be able to answer his phone call unless I hang up on someone that needs my help.
This fucking large ass piece of Santorum wants me to drive a company vehicle back and forth from work to my house so that he can track me. Even though I am not required to drive my vehicle home. And even after I told him that take my child to and from school/daycare. It's worth mentioning that I have been working for the same company for over 20 years, ten of those years have been in the current position I am in. I have had several directors come and go and I have never been this frustrated with another human being. I've never even been so much as written up or had a verbal warning for anything. And this short cold drink of Santorum comes along to make my fucking life miserable.
Fuck me, if only I was rich!
Edit: Please disregard this response. I just realized you meant interviewer as in job application. Not interviewer as in 60 minutes. I'll leave it up in shame and also it kinda felt good getting that shit off my chest.
Edit 2: to answer your question though, I would tell an interviewer that there is no possibility of moving up in my company and I have worked very hard at what I do. I would probably list a few things that I have accomplished in my field.and I'd tell them that I was looking for a challenging job/position. I'd also research the fuck out of their company to see what I can offer them and make sure that I slide that in the conversation.

My current position does not challenge me intellectually. I seek new experiences and challenges.

Because I want to be a programmer, not a college bookstore textbook manager, nor a soccer ref, nor a dishwasher.

It's boring. As most things become, after you've done them for a decade.

I am not sure if this is a fun, hypothetical question for anyone, or if you are asking specifically because you're about to have an interview. If it's the latter, basically, don't say anything negative about your current job, however much you might want to. Solely focus on the positives of the position you are trying to attain, or the team you are trying to join. That's just my two cents but it's always worked for me. (They might view you as a complainer or Nancy Negative if you trash talk your current employer or situation.)
