Right, had this dude who applied for a job at a wireless internet company, the job posting had very specifically mentions that you will be working at Heights and you will be required to pass a 2 day working at heights safety course.

2 rounds of interviews we ask them how they are with heights and so they have an issue with climbing ladders or working on elevated work platforms. Dude says no worries in both rounds of interviews.

First day on the job we do some basic ladder safety to prepare them for the course. Storing a ladder, securing a ladder to the work trucks, securing the ladder to a roof, how to wear a harness.

Say 2 of the job is the First day on the training course and we hear from the training provider that the guy refuses to participate in the practical work and they won't be accepting him for the second day.

He comes into the office on what was going to be his second day of training and has the stones to say he won't be working in the field as he is scared of heights.

He didn't make it till lunchtime that day.

It definitely sucks, but of all the jobs out there, he had to apply to this one?

Why? Because he wasted a bunch of people's time, and he's a dumbass? Fuck him! I just hope he didn't procreate.
